I'm starting to wonder if this is what's causing my all of a sudden random pinging problem. What's the issue with these meters. I can't see how some could work, and some won't.

im not sure why...it just seems to be hit or miss...Paul is a perfect example of how the meter can work...but some people have nothing but problems with them...

well, I was driviing the car for a few weeks with the tune and all was well. Just out of no where it started detonating with a vengence. I'm wondering if it's attributed to my MAF. I've been through everything, and no one else can seem to think of anything that will cure my problem. If you have any sugg. please help.........oh, I just realized i've only driven the car for 3 full weeks this season......I'm getting pretty discouraged. I do completely enjoy working on it and fixing the problems though. I JUST NEED MONEY!!!!!

I used to have a 75mm Bullit meter, never had a problem with it.

Did you try tuning it? Maybe it's the position the meter is in.

Mine has been in for about 2 months now, trouble free and seemed to help with throttle response and top end power a tiny bit. Didnt seem to help 1/4 times though, but I gained about 1/2 mph.

If it's pinging out of nowhere then maybe it's not the meter. Is your dist. clamped down tight? What about your fuel pressure or fuel filter? Seems funny for it to start all of a sudden. Are you getting a check engine light?

Dist. is clamped 10* base timing. fuel pressure is at 37psi w/vac off and still running WAAAAYYY rich. Filter is fairly new. The only codes i'm getting is a 137, and 173 which are right and left bank rich. I really don't think its the maf, i'm just trying to pinpoint the problem. It's getting so damn frustrating i've really been through everything.
