    Is my Idle too low?

    Mines around 750-800, which is normal. When it feels like it is bogging down do the rmps drop off?

    is pinging obvious

    If 93 octane doesn't help, which it should, then you can install a 180 thermastat to help bring down the heat range on the plugs. Should work. If not then yes a tune would be in order.

    Computer Chips

    With the chip you can adjust your timing, air/fuel, speedometer for gear change or tire size and a host of other things. You can have it programmed to match your car and any modifications. It is good for a heavily modded car. You also might want to look into SCT chips also. I think they have...

    Little puff of black smoke?

    There are alot of things that could cause it to run a little rich. If it is it probably isn't by much. I see in your list of mods that you have an x-pipe, is it catted or not and if not, do you have something to eliminate the o2 sensors?

    Having problems with Idle .. after putting in Accufab Plenum

    I agree with canning the spacer. Also it may take the car a little while to start idling normal again. Give it some time.

    ticking noises from engine

    I say you are over reacting about it. It probably is just your injectors. Mine do it and have done it for the last 4 years and 75k miles. The car runs as strong as ever. Enjoy the car and one of the many things that are annoying yet common.

    Little puff of black smoke?

    I wouldn't worry about it. Ecspecially if it is black smoke. Could be carbon, could be running a little rich. If it makes you feel better do a compression test to see if the rings are worn. I doubt you will find anything, just hammer it until it breaks then build it back bigger and better.

    Vibration in steering wheel

    I am going to say that it is the rotors. Ecspecially if you step on the brake hard and it stops vibrating. Your brake pedal will probably not vibrate if the rotors are warped, jsut the steering wheel.

    Leaking oil and not sure where.

    The best thing to do is clean the underside of the car with some kind of de-greaser to help you to pinpoint it. Also, try to determine what kind of oil it is, it will give you an idea of where it is coming from.

    Sounds like the throw out bearing. If it were me I would live with it, depending on how many miles are on the car.

    Transmission knocking..any ideas?

    I would have to agree with c2see21, it sounds like a mount problem. I should be easy to check. You can look at it to see if it is broken or damaged. Also you can rock the tranny and see how much movement the mount allows as well as listen for noises.
