Well the past few day I did the high speed fan mod which works great and so much easier to tap the line near the eec than in the engine compartment. I also got a new egr valve and sensor, and I replaced the wire mesh screen that goes in front of the mass air sensor that evens out the air flow. And after I was done I drove it around then said to myself 'what the he!!' and mashed it WOT and was supprised to find out that THE PINGING WAS GONE!!! I then said to myself, 'this may be a little premature' so i drove it around for a couple of days and mashing the peddle every chance I got , on the freeway whlie going 70mph already, at red lights , while crusing at 30 mph and holy smokes the pinging was really gone.

My car was pinging. I was running 87 octane fuel. I changed to 89 octane fuel. Pinging stopped. At first I was like .10 cents a gallon!?!? WTF that's a lot of money!! Then I realized I have a 14 gallon tank and the difference is a mere $1.40 per gallon if I'm empty and I use barely more than a tank of gas per week. So what's a $1.40 to not have pinging. I'll piss away $1.40 per day easy so I'll forgo that soda and buy some good gas for my car so it doesn't ping. So I just run better fuel. I think I'm getting better gas mileage too.
