DocJohn Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 With winter just around the corner and temps slowly dropping, I have noticed that when I start my GX the engine knocks. Is this common? Eventually goes away and it is not that cold out. I am wondering what it is going to be like when it is 30 degrees out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have got some bad gas. Try running a few tanks of premium through your rig and see if it goes away altogether then switch to the lower octane and see if the pinging/knocking comes back.
