Pinging is a term used of too early ignition; Common causes:
- bad gas (get better)
- dirty engine (clean; seafoam or water injection)
- dirty engine due to broken piston oil ring (long story)
- ign too advanced (first verify timing)

...those may have various reasons, mechanical & electric. ECU is the last one in the list.

Swap plugs, compare their looks on what u see at www.ngk.com trouble chart.

What does the error code say???
