Engine clattering?
Hey yall I was wondering what was up with tmy engine clattering. As I hit the gas slightly I hear the motor ping a little bit as if it were low on oil or something. I can press the gas and release then hit it and hear it almost everytime. I have not called the dealer yet just wanted some insight on this first fromthe pros here...Thanks guys let me know....

Re: Engine clattering?
Havent heard anything like that -- if it is pinging, you may try a higher octane gas as a test, but it shouldn't be doing it anyway with 87 octane..

That's what I was thinking. Has this been happening for a little while? Could you have maybe gotten a bad tank of gas?

While it doesn't always work, you can try revving the engine to 7000 rpms. Hold it there for 15 minutes, shut if off, and restart. |

Posibly a bad knock sensor

Re: Engine clattering?
I live in Utah and use 85 octane all the time with no problem.
