Red face Ping and Knock
Hey
Can anyone help me get rid of that nasty ping in my 2000 S10 4.3v ?
It gets better when I burn 89 octane but I should'nt have to.
Please Help

Re: Ping and Knock
it depends on your elevation, if you live near sea level you do NEED to use 89 octane or better, but its optional if you live in a high elevation
