I Got A Problem!!
Ok here goes guys. I dunno wtf is going on. WHen i punch it inbatween 4,700 and 6 grand i ping like a biatch. ITS really really loud now. And there is black smoke coming out the exhaust. Not to dark but you can see it. What im thinking it is is because i haven't gotten a tune up in awhile. Any feedback is welcome its been about 45000 since a tune up.

A tune up would help. Get that problem checked before something screws up.SLA

Why do you think a tune wouldn't help at all!! First off if hes not running 93 octane, then it will ping with the tune he has. Detonation has to do with either three things: 1.Not enough fuel 2.Not enough air 3.Not enough spark. If his tune up consist of changing to NGK TR55's plugs for spark, changing a clogged fuel filter for fuel maybe even some injector cleaner (if they're clogged), cleaning that FIPK cause it could be to dirty to suck the right amount of air in! I dont see why a good tune up wouldn't possibaly help. First I'd try those simple fixes, and if it doesnt help, call Nelson back and get him to retune it based on what you know. Are you getting any SES codes??

I am running 93 octane. have not tryed any seafoam tricks dont really know what that is . I think its just cause my spark plugs haven't been changed in over 50,000 miles. I dunno thou. Im not getting any codes. and my fipk is dirty atm. I need to get a filter sock for it.

Sam doyou have any scanning software, I would really stay off the throtle until you get this fixed if your seeing smoke and hearing detonation you are really asking for it and might have allready blown some rings
