Mojo Posted May 4, 2004 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

Andrewsreef Posted May 5, 2004 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
Mojo Posted May 20, 2004 Author 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
Andrewsreef Posted May 21, 2004 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. Thanks Andrew
