    Fuel Injection Cleaner Kit Service Bulletin

    1. 1Fault

      • Rough idle, crank no start, extended crank or misfire, with the engine warning lamp on and DTC P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307 or P0308 set.
      • When the engine is cold, compression on multiple cylinders may be zero.
      • The engine may pop through the intake or exhaust while cranking, and the spark plugs may be fuel fouled.
    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • Major carbon build-up on the intake and/or exhaust valves from fuel contamination or incomplete burning of the fuel; misfires should not appear before at least 8,000 km (5,000 mi).
    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. If there is no valve damage and no cam follower out of place, perform the cleaning procedure to free sticking valves and remove carbon from the valves and pistons.
      2. If valves are damaged or cam followers are out of place, make the engine mechanical repairs first and then perform the cleaning procedure to prevent a return.
      3. Fill Cleaner Kit J-35800-A with about 650 ml (22 oz, 2 cans) of Air Intake, Combustion Chamber Cleaner and set the air pressure at the tool to 260 kPa (40 psi).
      4. With GDS 2 or a scan tool, command engine idle to 2000 rpm so the engine does not stall.
      5. With the engine at operating temperature in a well-ventilated area, slowly and carefully induce the cleaner into the engine, taking about 3 minutes.

      Parts

      • The Top Engine Cleaning Kit (ACDelco Air Intake, Valve and Combustion Chamber Cleaner and ACDelco Fuel System Cleaner 44K) is 19435372 for the U.S. and Canada.

      Part numbers printed in the document

      The numbers are as the document prints them. The name and the replacing number are what the pages of GMPartsGiant, a reseller of genuine parts and not GM, state. Aftermarket equivalents are not checked here (the links only search by number). Confirm the fit for the vehicle (VIN) before ordering.

      Caution

      • Inducing too much cleaner at too low an RPM, or stalling the engine with too much cleaner at once, may hydro-lock the engine and bend a connecting rod.

    Remedy
    This service bulletin advises of a new fuel injection cleaner kit used for decarbonizing the intake valves to correct conditions of rough idle, Crank no start, extended crank or misfire, MIL with DTCs, and explains how Top Tier fuels should be used to reduce carbon build-up.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING1

    Diagnostic tip on valve, lifter or camshaft issues

    1. 1Fault

      • Misfire, chirp, squeak, squeal or tick noise, with the MIL illuminated and DTC P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307 and/or P0308 set.
    2. 2Finding the cause

      Possible causes

      • A worn cam lobe on this engine family generally creates a consistent chirp, squeak, squeal or tick at camshaft speed and/or a misfire with a P0300-P0308 DTC.

      Steps to confirm (in the document’s order)

      1. A verified noise is not eliminated by canceling fuel injectors and occurs at camshaft speed (half of crankshaft speed).
      2. If applying pressure to the valve side of a rocker changes the noise, a lifter and/or cam lobe concern on that cylinder is most likely.
      3. Measure cam lobe lift at the push rod side of the rocker arm; it differs from the SI specification but should be similar to the other rockers on the same bank.
      4. A bore scope or pen light helps when inspecting the cam lobes through the lifter bores; a damaged lobe is easy to overlook.
      5. A good indicator of a sticking valve is that misfires continue to count on an aggressive deceleration with engine braking.

    3. 3Correction

      Repair

      1. If a worn camshaft lobe or lifter roller is found, replace the camshaft and all lifters following SI procedures.
      2. If force is needed to tap the valve off its seat, excessive carbon build up exists, which may be repaired by decarbonizing the engine.

    • Repair:If force is needed to tap the valve off its seat, excessive carbon build up exists, which may be repaired by decarbonizing the engine.
    • Confirm:Valve leakage is typically isolated by the Cylinder Leakage Test in SI, which finds excessive leakage past an intake or exhaust valve compared with the others.
    • Confirm:The two pieces of a broken valve spring may stay stacked together and be hard to see; lightly pushing on different places on the springs with a small hammer handle may help.
