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

**patto14** · 03-03-2010 07:58 AM

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.
