Well its most noticeable during acceleration.Often caused by advanced ignition timing or carbon buildup in the CC's. Carbon can get so hot they can glow and then preignite.
Also to low of octane will cause it.

fitting and pump I just dont get it. Its a shurflow pump. I thought they were good. The fittings I will just silicone I guess. I cant ever get anything new done, I spend all my time fixing stuff that I shouldnt have to deal with . Ive heard of the pumps completely failing, so Im keeping my ears open for any signs (knock) . I cant really drive around with the laptop all day. Im at a loss with how to handle this since I dont see how I route the pipe for the FMIC or where to stuff an air to water with the accompanying stuff.
