Try running regular, Mango, the cars computer is designed for that. It says right in the manual,"no gains from premium" if the car is designed for regular.

Later friends, Orv

 

Thats what the manual states,74scamp, either 87 or 89 octane.
hope this helps, and save you guys some money.

 

Yeah, but we're running the SC tuner set to 91 octane. I'm going to set it back to stock tonight since I'm taking it to the dealership tomorrow.

If it pings at 91 it will ping worse with regular. Changing back to 87 won't fix the problem. Ping is bad, you don't want to drive any periods of time with that problem. Take it back to the dealer.

 

3796, weren't you the guy that wanted to lower the temp of the engine and change your thermostat temp... did you?

You were going to add some gunk to lower the operating temp also... did you?

Those engines are designed to operate at a certain level. If you messed with it, you might be pinging...

That was not me I think that was 3767. he also bought snake oil and a dream catcher from the dealer. I heard he bough gap insurance and the undercoating. HA!

That is 2x I got tagged for that crappy thread!

 

I am going to take it back to the dealer tomorrow. This thread has got me spooked.

 

I made an appointment for 7:00am tomorrow. I will post what they tell me about the knocking and pinging.

 

My apology. [sm=deal.gif] You were the one with the great replies.

Hope they solve it quickly.

I wonder if getting HAL's attention by disconnecting the battery cable might help. Since that is where the timing is set from anyway, maybe resetting the controller might set things right. Won't take long and doesn't cost anything to try. I was skeptical about this until I tried it as a last resort on my wife's 300m after the cam sensor was replaced by the dealer and it was way down on power.

Just a thought.
