still have pinging problems cant figure it out

d15z6 Single cam carby 1.5 lol dnt laugh haha

new plugs
timings checked and spot on
upper engine clean has been ran

tryed this and more and cant figure out y my car is pinking still??
any more tips?

don't run ethanol

i dnt run that shit i run shell v-Power buy ive tryed using just 95 ocatain and still dose it

some 95s, such as bp have ethanol in them

change your fuel filter, how is your oil/level of oil

When is it starting to ping in the rev range?

ive used shell Bp united all types of fuel and fuel filters new
and not sure where abouts its starting it dosent ping all the timeit be around 4 ish id say dose it the most up hills

sure it's not tappet noise? may need adjustment

nahh i dnt think its tapits tapits will be constent from idle 2 redline ???

any chance you could video the engine bay and get a sound wav, youtube link?

while driving or on idle?
coz cant reali film the engine bay while driving haha and it only dose it when driving

could bent valves cause pinging or is that a little more distinct noise lol

really is hard to determine, without being there hey

has your carbie ever been serviced

What is timing set at on idle? And no bent valves won't cause it to ping..

BTW are you sure it is pinging for starters? example. does it sound like a tin can with coins inside shaking.. thats the closes example of pinging noise i can do..

I would be looking into the igniton side of things.

familiar with the term arching out? turn on the engine in the dark and check for sparks from the leads, haven't seen many cases in Hondas, alot in cars with long insulation on the leads (Nissan Z cars I've owned in the past)

big long shot but never know as I can't hear the noise lol

ill probs be doing a carby sevice soon what dose it consists off coz i may as well do wit while all the airbox gear and that are off the car for when i pull rocker cover off

annd yeah its pinging its the same noise i had on my dirty old lancer when my timing was out thats y i first checked my timing with timing light

I remember my car was making a pining kinda noise, then it turned into a knocking noise and then a tractor noise and then just a loud bang lOl... my harmonic balancer came off, maybe check bottom end too?

hmm well if the motor blows it aint such a big deal coz it gives me an excuse to put a b18 in it but still would like to no and how do i check my harmonic balancer???????

well thankfully my motor didn't blow, we were able to save it and instead of a 3k rebuild it was $300 to replace the balancer lOl.

You would probably need to get it up on a hoist if possible, not sure where it is located on your car..

What happened with mine is a key or blot holding it in came lose and took a chunk out of my HB and shredded all my drive belt, lOl I opened the bonnet and my belt was sitting on top the engine! Have a look through my previous threads if you wanted more info:

i think it it was the harmonic balancer it would of came off via now since i gotta boot it so much 2 keep close with my b series mates lol

lmfao, probably right then :P

if it only happens when your driving, maybe its just some kind of lose metal in your engine bay or under the car thats flapping about?

does the sound get faster as you drive quicker?

nah its pinging coz it dose it most up hill when under a bit of load and that desbribes pinging pretty well cant cant bloody figure out y but the thing its it only dose it some times i can drive up the hill 1 day n wont do it then about 5 min later it will up the next hill
