WTF???!!! Need some help with an engine issue
I have an 02 6S with 55K miles.
Yesterday the car made some intermittant sound that sounded like knocking valves. It initially occured at start-up and they went away.
They came back a few minutes later but they occured ONLY when I pressed on the accelerator. Today the sounds are gone but the CES light is on.
Any ideas on the issues or simply run it through an OBD computer?
Could it be injector problems?

Check the CEL at autozone for free, but it could be the coils going on you although I didn't think the 02's were effected by this.

ODB Code P0011
P0011 - IVT Control (Bank 1)
Cam Shaft Actuator Bank 1 - Timing Advanced
that's the read-out from AZ. I wonder if this is covered under the powertrain warranty? Researching a little further I am a little overdue for an oil change (5K miles) and I found that the code maybe from low oil.

Just wanted to update the thread in case someone else gets the same code.

I understand that but I am under the belief that the ECU control the IVT and it is directly effected by oil pressure.
Therefore after the oil change I should be fine. Is that an incorrect assumption?
I guess I could reset it and if the problem/SES code reoccurs then I have a true issue, correct?

i have a VERY early built 02, and it was covered.
have him run a service comm and show it to you.
somewhere on there itll say 'no open campaigns'
unless you have an open campaign, of course.

I really don't like the advisor and stopped going to a particular dealership because of her but she transferred to my current service dealership and now I have to deal with her all over again.
