Re: tapping from engine under load Posted by ryan [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: tapping from engine under load, CMyles ![]() |
Thanks a lot for the reply cmyles. I'm always using Chevron 91 octane in the engine, spark plugs are relatively new (NGK), as are the cap & rotor. I have magnecor wires on the car with roughly ~50k. There has been periodic running issues with the car in the past, though this hasn't occured recently. Basically it would hesitate under power sometimes, and some others did mention possibly a dying distributor. As far as actual running, the engine does run good all the way up to full throttle on the freeway. Boost is good, etc. I don't hear anything at high-speed open-throttle, but that could be because of overall exhaust and road noise. :-) It was just this tapping I noticed today. I can see though that this is possibly pinging, the engine sounds almost like a old VW Beetle when starting in 1st gear.
