IntenseBlue said:I'd noticed my car running very rich. Turned out to be a o2 sensor unplugged, but it was rich enough to make my Hpipe and headers glow cherry red at night and I NEVER had a backfire.
Not saying the rich condition is his problem, but I'd definately look into it. Too low of timing can make it ping under part throttle, also.
This is new to me. Can you please explain the dynamic at hand for those of us (like me) who don't understand how this can happen. Thanks.IntenseBlue said:Also, too little timing can make it ping under part throttle conditions.
That seems like a tune issue that is not going to correlate to Mod's car or state of tune. Things like that can happen with load-based computers as well, but again, it doesnt apply to the situation at hand (which is, in however a roundabout way, trying to help Mod).IntenseBlue said:I'm not sure what causes it, but my dad's truck, which is Vortech supercharged with a Crane timing retard will ping like hell under part-throttle conditions with the timing turned down low. It won't ping in higher rpms if under full throttle, but it'll ping. If it's got too much timing, it's fine down low and under part throttle, but will detonate under full throttle, mostly around 4500rpm or higher. It's a pinging sound when there isn't enough timing though. It sounds like someone slapping the intake with a yardstick when there is too much.
