Mojo Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I notice when my wife takes off there is pinging until the computer retards the timing and it stops. It lasts about a second or so. Doesn't do it when its cold Any thoughts. Thanks Mojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewsreef Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Mine has been doing this also even after a complete tune up and 93 octane gas. I also had an injector/throttle body cleaning and used several fuel additives to remove deposits. Nothing worked for me. I finally had to !Removed! the timing back to 1.5 BTC (factory setting is 3 BTC). That seems to have done the trick. Thanks Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 Well I tryed that timing thing and it work great. I had to go pretty far but it runs the same but no pinging. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrewsreef Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 How far did you have to !Removed! the timing? Just curious as I have it set at 1.5 to 2 BTC and it cured most of it. I still get a little. If you !Removed! it back to far you may get poor mileage and carbon buildup. I was tempted to !Removed! mine back one more degree.
