Been noticing alot of pinging 3.5s lately.
Injectors or Coils or MAF or Updated program.
May need one of the above may need them all.

 

are these under the powertrain warantee? It was 76 degrees outside...AC off and I was driving by myself on the way home and noticed non-stop pinging at light-throttle 2k-3k rpm.

 

yea i have been noticing that about my car. i am at 31k right now.
Would you mind taking a look ? or what would you reccomend..
THanks

 

I think its a gas issue, some odd reason the gas we pay now for 3/gal = crap ??

I've had at least 3-5 cars/day with pinging issue using premium fuel ??

Use Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner.(or that seafoam shizz)

 

I think u r listed in my books with less than 20K, mileage is just a number, right ??

 

damn...you're tight...I wish you worked here so I can bring it to you for service.

 

hehe used to be less then 20, actually today i hit 31k on the way to work.
so u think i should just do the seafoam thing?
with my exhaust i can only hear the pinging if i am driving next to a wall and the sound bounces back. otherwise its all exhaust.
or what else i should do
thanks

 

lol, it'll be our lil thing.
Seafoam, according to the rest of the people who have used it, works
as for the ping, de-advance timing ?

 

Guys I found the problem few weeks back, its bad connection to the MAF Sensor I actually spent $500 for a new MAF then found 1 wire connecting to it was bad and ones I rewired it everything worked like new again. Good Luck!

 

can you please elaborate? how did you found out the problem? thanks

 

if the weatherproofing was keeping the locking tang from engaging, you should have just reworked it.
