 Subject: controlling pinging
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a superchips tuner installed on the medium setting on my 2000 3.9. I used to have it on high perf. setting, but I was getting a little pinging running strictly 93 octane so I tuned it down. It helped, but I still get some slight pinging if I rev the engine when I first start the truck cold, but it goes away once it warms up. My first question is should I worry about such a small amount of pinging? Also, I'm planning on getting an F&B throttle body and doing the injector sync, will either of these have any effect on pinging. I'd like to set the superchips back to high perf but I need some way to control the pinging.

You're not running with factory plugs are you? I know nothing about any chips but i had my factory plugs in and only did the timing mod with the crank sensor and holy cow did it ping!! the factory plugs don't seem to do so well with any mods. I'm sure the chip advances the timing more than the crank sensor mod so you would want to swap out factory plugs if you were running them. Did it ping before you put the chip in? Hopefully someone else can help you out further than i have. Also like i said i'm not familiar with the chips but do you have to run the 93 octane?

try a 180 deg t/stat and a colder range plug. if that doesn't work you may want to try cleaning the combustion chambers or it may be the infamous belly pan gskt. leak.

I'm running autolite 3923's so that shouldn't be the problem. I think they're gapped right around .040-.045. I don't think I need the combustion chambers cleaned, the truck only has 40k, the last 10k running premium gas too. I think the only cause is the superchip. A 180 degree t-stat would help reduce pinging?
