When starting vehicle cold. There is a loud internal knocking noise from engine. I am a professional auto mechanic, I suspect piston slap. In my opinion, this condition is not normal as stated by the dealer and the factory.

Engine idle rough. Idle speed drops below 500 RPM. Throttle sticks open causing to surge at high rate of speed (2 occurances) engine lose of power, especially up small inclines. A/C or accessories have no effect on idle RPM. Dealer recommend super grade gas (against manf recommendations) 2 dealers unable to duplicate problem. At 70mph engine hesitates and stalls, again dealer unable to dup. Engine check light illuminated. However no codes are displayed for dealer. Overall, engine idle bad, throttle sticks, vehicle stalls. Driving skills have prevented accident. What can be done? nlm
