Pinging

[blackshadow42]

Hi

I'm having a problem here...almost everytime I accelerate..1st gear,2nd gear and so on...I hear pinging although it's not loud but still can hear it. Especially uphill. When I turn on the air con, it's getting worse...pinging in all gears...(1st,2nd n so on)

Can it be fixed just by adjusting the timing?

Sounds like your tappets need adjusting.

adjusting the tappets besides reducing the pinging, will make engine sounds quieter?

Yes.If the sound is 'uniform' then I would say it's the tappets.ECU MAN has done a DIY on here:

Or take it to a mechanic.How long since they were done?

wat fuel you running? you should at least run Premium on a B series.
Also check you timing. Have you over advanaced it?

Have you played with anything else?

I'm running Vpower, Shell. I'm not sure If I've advanced it or not. But my engine is B16A turbo.

I need to confirm it first...then I'll let u know...

Yes the pinging.
Get the tappets adjusted and see if that fixes it first.
Your welcome!

It's always hard to meet up with someone anyways.Great advice can be given over the net.Then just take that info to your mechanic to do if your not confident to do it yourself 'yet'
