I have 95 GT with a broken 418w that will get rebuilt or replaced. I bought this car from previous owner knowing it had a bad engine. The engine has several broken piston ring lands and it had a dropped valve. So in showing pictures of the broken pistons to a engine builder, he said it looked like detonation caused the breakup. PO said that he had a conservative tune in it (although I don't think he tuned it ), also said it was low on fuel. The car was / is a high speed road course car. So once I get it running again I will need to find someone to tune this system for sure.
As I'm not familiar with these engine control systems , I've been wondering if there are some sort of detonation sensors that should be monitoring for this ? I have removed the engine and there are no knock sensors on the block.
So could someone please enlighten me how this system works ???
Thanks, Mike
