Default I think I am hearing engine KNOCK. Please Help.

Question. Why do you think I would get knock/pinging occasionally when I do WOT runs when logging and not see CRs above 8 degrees? What could it be? Also my knock voltages are not even in the 20's.


Please let me know what you think.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Also I can send logs or link them if anyone wants to have a look @ them.

Default at least he spelled out 'please'

'plz' really gets on my nerves for some reason.

Default Thanks for the edit. We're making progress. Now get a bit more descriptive in the subject line.

Not trying to harass you, but it will get more views. You can fit a lot of info in the subject line, and people are more likely to click if they know what the subject is.

how long have you been hearing the noise? if its a recent thing, maybe its just a batch of bad gas.

After getting the code set to run 22-23 psi that's when I noticed it. Doesn't happen all the time. I have turned down the timming via Lemiwinks -4.5 degrees so my CRs are within safe ranges (not more than 7-8).
