how did this get to 88? Should i bother reading all 4 pages?

it could be the fan hitting the shroud, but i think you would have other problems https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

i'm thinking maybe a boost leak, or could it be the front cat? exhaust leak?

No cats, and yes I have a very nasty exhaust leak, but I don't think that could be making this issue. I am taking the car to the exhaust guy on Friday.

Does it have 93 or higher octane in it?

Old gas?

It could be just enough of a pinging but not enough to blow a seal if you werent really beating on it.

89 octane the middle grade shite.

can you redscribe the problem? it makes a loud clicking sound under load over 4k rpms?

It sounds metal to metal, just like when a tranny eats itself, but we know if isn't the tranny. It's like CRACK, CRACK, CRACK. Let off the gas, it goes away. Doesn't even always do it on flats, but I can do it 100% on hills through all 4 gears.

I should also note that the car doesn't hesitate or cut out when this happens, the car acts like nothing is wrong.

Rob x-7 12-09-2002 04:22 PM

cars do ping and still drive normal, for now maybe try topping the tank with some of the highest octane you can get, I think for the TIIs you should be running premium shouldnt you?

I dont know, just reaching here, at least it wont cost you anything right?

phinsup 12-09-2002 04:24 PM

Yea I have an empty tank right now, so I might as well go fill her up with some regular octane.
