RE: Knocking on 03 impala
not sure how prone the impala engines are to this..
but on the inline 6 trailblazers - and some other engines- they get what is called Cold Carbon knock.
cold engine in the morning- the engine knocks a little. once its warmed up- its quiet.
This noise can be quieted for a bit- by running a bottle of chevron techron to get rid of the carbon buildup.
Mine quiets down a bit. not entirely, but it does help.
if you try chevron- and it doesnt quiet down- then at least you cleaned your injectors, and you then proceed to another cause.
