Pinging problem
Ok my car started pinging when it got really hot outside. It only pings for a second around 2k RPM's. I can write down info and send it to the tuner but right now my schedule is packed and I cant go drive around to get the info i need. Lets get the no brainer questions outta the way by saying i run 91 octane (utah), 39# fuel injectors, etc...
there was 10% timing but i changed to to 15% to see if it would help with the knocking. didnt work....im wondering if there is a easy fix just for the week like trying a octane booster or something. Or if there is something i can tweak on the tuner (diablo)

ok, i'll go back to 10% and then go lower. Hell, I'll put it at zero then and then see what happens. I have a wideband so do i just need to watch my A/F right? sorry im new to tuning

RE: Pinging problem
yeah, you def don't want to be messing with a custom tune if you don't know what your doing . . .
add some octane booster and put it back to the way it was before, it didn't ping then right???
