Sounds like you're getting preignition (engine ping). What octane gas are you running and who tuned it?

Tell him the problems you're having, and I wouldn't put that motor under anymore stress until you fix the problem.

Sounds like you need your tune adjusted to me.

im with you, sounds like preignition, make sure you fill up at the same station and same octane fuel that you ran when you had it tuned, if that dosent help you may need a retune.

it should be fine, my truck pings alot during the summer, i just stay out of the throttle when ever i hear the slightest bit of ping, then add alittle race fuel to my tank and it goes away. Preignition can kill a perfectly good motor real quick, so stay out of the throttle if you hear it. It can burn holes in the top of pistons, look it up i am sure there is tuns of info on preigniton on the board. Hope this helps.
