my car started to PING like crazy. I was heading to teh track and decided to put in some toulene ontop of my 94 for some insurance, about half a gallon and then drove about 10km's and i hammered it in 2nd gear and it started to stumble and thats when i heard the loud knock/rattle from underneath my hood. I got worried so i thought maybe my map clamp was getting defective, so i took it off and still rattled like crazy. At this point i was fustrated because i drove 2 hrs with my slicks in the trunk hoping to beat my old time of high 12s but noooooooo it just had to ping.
I then reset the computer.... umm no made it worse doh!!! I then reset my timing and that made it even Worse :eeeek: finally gave up and when home before something was going to break (ring lands), tommorow im going to fill it up with a fresh tank of 94 and see if the problem reacurs, and if it does then somethign is really fishy here
btw my boost levels are 18psi dropping to 15.5psi in 4th, 3rd is about the same and ive never had detonation problems in the past with this car. What had me worried was that this detonation was really loud and not some slight ping that some cars will get on 91... ah wells ill update you guys tommorow.
