Pinking

[mcneill1873]

Im having a spot of bother with pinking at the moment on my y plate vtr. anybody got any suggestions on how best to tackle it?

try filling it up with optimax or a least super unleaded and see if that solves it, if not try an uprated fuel pressure regualtor www.gmcmotorsport.co.uk

sounds to me like ur ignition timing is out

what`s been done to the engine, any mods and engine spec would help smileys/smiley2.gif

what air filter are you running?

Pinking or "pre-ignition" can be cured by cooling the inlet air temprature(by way of a cold air induction), reducing the load on the engine, or by increasing the rpm(changing down a cog).

Or failing those simple sugestions, as Scott says, increase the air fuel ratio by way of an uprated fuel presure regulator, thus cooling the chrge.
