My pinging problem is so bad it sounds like the lifters are floating.
I have run a test that is in the quote below and did what it said. It will not ping cold but at normal oper. temp it pings bad so bad that I will not drive the car.
As soon as the car gets to about 180 deg it pings so bad above 2800 rpms that a freaking mini van passed me going up an on ramp, so I drove home and parked it and have not driven it sense.
This is what I have done to the car.
1) New plugs,wires,cap,rotor
2) Timing set at 8%
3) Cleaned MAF
4) New K&N air filter
5) New ACT
6) New ECT
7) New thermostate 180%
8) New 02 sensors
9) New 190 fuel pump
10) New Kirban AFPR (fuel pressure set at 41psi)
11) New fuel filter
Miles on car 100,090
I did not want to hijack someone elses thread so here is a quote from someone elses thread.
I did the test in the quote warm and cold and I do have a autometer temp gauge so I am able to tell what temp I was running at.
QUOTE]As for problem #1, there are many things that can cause pinging. But I want you to perform a few tests for me. When the car is bone cold (sat for at least 8 hours), drive the car, and see if it pings at part throttle, and wide open throttle.
Next, once the car is warm, do the same. See if it pings at part throttle and/or wide open throttle.
Wide open throttle = WOT = pedal completely to the floor. It is very important that you test the car when it's cold & warm, and part/WOT throttle during cold and warm states.
The sensors that the computer uses to calculate a/f ratio depend on whether the car is warm & what position the throttle is.
Perform those tests, and shoot me a PM and let me know what happens. Then we can go from there. I have a suspicion, but I want to confirm it first.[/QUOTE]
