Loud pinging and knocking coming from the engine?
Has anyone had a problem with the engine pinging on their max. I have a 2k se auto with 26000 miles. The car will knock and ping under 1/2 throttle or above sometimes. I only use 93 octane fuel and I do use mobil 1 oil. The car does have a version of the oscai installed. If anyone has any suggestions please repond.

Your car should NOT be acting that way. It's way too new. Sounds like a detontation sensor problem or an ECU program problem. It could also be one of the sensors signaling the ecu the wrong timing information(ie... crank angle sensor). I assume your car is under warranty to please take it back asap. If the knocking is as loud as you describe, you stand a good chance at ruining your engine. Please drive it very easy for now and get it fixed asap!

I am going to have to figure this one out, might have to go to my friends shop and possibly tighten the bastard back up with a Impact wrench.

PS, by the way, I just bought a Electrical Impact wrench, we can do the spring install on your car in a snap now. Lets be indy style and try to get it done in say............. 1.5hrs. HAHAHA

So last night I got out the car while it was knocking to find out where the hell it is coming from. Guess what, at idle rpms, the UDP seems to be shaking. I dont know if the bolt is loose on it or what. But at high rpms, the UDP seems to be balanced, like it does not shake.
