Alright guys, well here is my attempt to get my own pinging problem fixed...an attempt thats been going on for a while.
It will only ping while flooring in when going at least 40mph, like 3rd or 4th gear.
All of first and second is good, but it really feels like AS SOON as I switch into the next gear I hear the pinging.
I guess cause the engine has to work harder, less help with gearing.
But anyway, it does get better with less timing, but I'm at 10* and dont plan on backing it up anymore...I really would like to find the source instead of kind of bandaid it.
I have replaced these parts:
MAF
02's
ACT <--- This guy is kind of weird, tell you about that in a bit
ECT
Plugs, wires, fuel filter, and other normal maintenence.
Now on to my story of the ACT. My act is really weird...during the summer the only way I could get the car to run decently was to replace the ACT with a resistor wire, tricking the computer. A new ACT didn't do much to resolve my last issue, just the wire. The car would run crappy, hesitate and bog, but with the new resistor ran perfect.
Anyone have any ideas? I don't think I have a vacuum leak anywhere. I cleaned the MAF.
Maybe miraculously a $30 CAI will fix it? lol...that'll just get me more air. Maybe cause the MAF will be relocated. Grrrr what to do ...
