My 97 Trans Sport with 104K miles had a BAD lifter " Tick " I did two things to cure it First I changed the oil AND THE FILTER using a really good filter Like a WIC filter with a really good anti-drainback valve .I have been told that the NAPA Gold oil filter is a good one too ...There are a lot of cheap oil filters that have a anti-drainback valve but it is not good enough to do the job in the 3.4L The 3.4 L needs a really good sealing anti-drainback valve in the oil filter ...Without a good anti drainback valve in the oil filter the engine must refill the filter, oil lines ,bearings and hydraulic lifters every time you start the engine ... The oil I used was just 3 quarts of low cost 10W30 and one quart of Mobil one ... That's what I had ... The second thing I did was dump in a can of "Engine Restore " you can get it at Wal Mart in a little silver can ... This stuff will un-stick gummed up lifters and piston rings too... This worked on my 97 Trans Sport I went on vacation recently and let it sit for 10 days when I got back I started it and it ticked for about 20 seconds at idle then was very quiet ! A little ticking at start up is normal ! Hope this helps Bob in Cassopolis Michigan
Answerthe power door reset is in the outer fuse box you have to pull the radio fuse for 30 seconds then replace it and hit your upperconsole power door lock switch to ON let the car sit without using the power door eventually it will start to work..be sur the bottom strip along the power door isn't in the way of the track these doors will have to be reset if they get jammed..i had to cut the bootom part of that strip off to get mine working but they jam up alot I did flush my 3.4 the same way you described and the problem stopped run 5w30 pennzoil and a bottle of LUCASWiki User
