what causes my corola dx wagon with a 5e engine to ping
Low octane fuel, timing to far advanced, overheating.
Check the timing or you may have to use a higher octane fuel
cheap gas or your timing is out of wack put hi test gas in first to see if that takes the ping a way
accelerator ping is caused by to low aoctane fuel you are using this can be easliy corrected by buying higher octane,or by having a "good: mechanic ,tune your engine to the octane rating you are using
Pre-ignition.
Higher octane fuels.
Ping under acceleration or under load.
sounds like your describing "engine Ping" it means your timing is out and your engine needs to be tuned
Try the higher octane gas you can find.
Allowing an engine to ping excessively can do serious damage.
Try regular if it doesn't "ping" excessively you should be OKAnswerTry regular if it doesn't "ping" excessively you should be OKANSWER: Only if you like walking. It will ping and bang, and if you continiously use regular unleaded gas, Its going to blow your engine up! When it says to use premium gas in a Land Rover, you should take it exactly for what it says. AND NO YOU CAN NOT USE REGULAR GAS AND ADD OCTANE BOOSTER TO IT!! It causes excessive engine stress and will cause nothing but problems. The land rover engine is designed to run on a higher combustion ratio than most vehicles and using regular unleaded will not allow the air to fuel ratio to be sustained.
Tune up, including correctlty gapped plugs, cap, rotor and wires, higher octane fuel. Check the timimg. The more your timing is advanced, the more likely your engine is to ping. Check cooling system, the hotter your engine is, the more likely your engine is to ping.
