2004 GRAND MARQUIS, WHEN I ACCELERATE I GET A KNOCKING SOUND.


DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE PROBABLE CAUSES ARE??

 

upper or lower of the motor??

Most likely a rod knock, the original Mercury 4.6 in my grand marquis had a hard rod knock, the idiot before me ran er low on oil for about 300 miles. Not good. [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]

did you run it low on oil, go way over on a oil change??

but if she does end up needing a new motor get the interceptor motor(NO GOVERNER)thats what i did in mine...

could be pinging type knock you have which would be timing. could be what 92mercmadman said also. try 10w30 or 10w40 with some Lucas or something and see if i helps.

 

Only under acceleration? What about at idle? Is it definatley a knock and not pinging? How many miles on the car? Let me know.

 

Try a higher octane gas (93) and see if the knock goes away.< src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" ="text/"></>< ="text/">_uacct = "UA-939292-45";
