I have a 2002 Montero Sport LS with ~140,000 miles. It has a 3.0 liter engine and an AWD system. Despite the truck's current problem it has been a great vehicle. For about the last year I have hearing a noise from the engine compartment. The noise generally occurs when the engine has been idle, such as overnight. Sometimes the noise doesn't occur. Once the engine is warm, the noise disappears. At first I thought that the noise was a valve ticking noise as if there was no oil in the engine. I confirmed that it was not an engine oil problem. I then thought it was a loose "off-road" plate, but that was not the case. I have taken the vehicle to two different car mechanics and neither one found anything, heard anything or charged me. I have also been experiencing the "Service Engine Soon" light coming on for a couple of days continually. Then a day later it goes off for a few days. In addition to that, the engine has begun to buck between 1500 to 2500 rpms. I did have one of the O2 sensors replaced as well as a new gas cap. With the price of gas these days, I not sure the truck is running as efficiently as possible. This past summer my mother-in-law experienced a problem on her '03 Toyota Camry. The noise from the engine sounded very much like what I am hearing on my Montero. The Toyota Dealer ended up replacing her Intake Manifold. That solved the problem. I can't help but think that I may be having a similar problem. Can someone offer some advice? |

Replying to: ldanielson (Aug 06, 2007 2:12 pm) My questions are: 1. How do you get rid of the "OFF" message so I can enter a new code? 2. What is the code...the last four digits of the serial # or what? Thanks in advance for your help! |

| Would you Montero owners prefer to have your own separate forum so that the Sport discussions don't bleed over into the area? | |

Yes, I believe it would be very helpful. |
