How do you stop pinging on a 2001 falcon as have change coil leads knock sensor and O2 sensor?
I had the same problem. Either 1 your intake and valves are gummed up with carbon. 2 stopped up fuel injectors. Or 3 the level of octane you're using isn't right. As a car gets older, the octane rating increases. Buy some fuel injector cleaner, and throw in a tankfull of premium. That's what worked for me. Don't let it go untreated any longer. It'll cause problems.
