    I get occasional pinging when I am too low in RPM and trying to accelerate suddenly, rather than downshifting first. I use 87 octane. The engine has knock sensors and will adjust timing accordingly to prevent the detonation.

    And Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well:hattip:

    Probably a garbage factory tune. It usually is.
