Did you just copy and paste that?

 

If you are getting that much knock, 9 counts, in the upper RPM range let off the gas!

That is a lot of knock and knock in the upper RPM range is a lot worse. Wait until you get plugs then try another run. Don't just keep driving/hammering on the car with 6+ knock counts.

One question I haven't asked. Is the knock in the same spot every time in the RPM range, as in is it repeatable?

 

I do let off the gas as soon as I see the knock, any knock at all. The knock is in the same rpm range every time (6500-7000)


I was getting 4 counts this morning, AFRs are still 11.3-11.4 range. It's a lot better than it was.

 

Could just be your tune then honestly.

Possible boost leak or even a hole in the intake somewhere or something like that.

I guess the first step is still get new plugs in and run the tank out and fill up again with new gas. Then try again. If its still there start looking for possible problems like boost leaks. Something has changed to cause this if it was running fine before.

If you always had some knock there, get a new tune.

 

Never had knock like this before, maybe 1 or 2 counts here and there, but nothing this high and/or consistent. I will be filling up at a different gas station this weekend, same brand/company though.

I might run to the next town (~30miles) where they sell 94oct, still same brand/company, just a point higher.

I'll do a boost leak test tonight.

Thanks for all your help.

Funny thing was I was doing a couple unlogged pulls after I tightened down the coil packs and knock was normal, but then after each run it would get a little worst and it seems to be settling at 4 counts up high but still in the same AFR range.

 

found this quote by JohnBradley.
This could attribute to the fact of the normal AFRs and knock being detected. But then again, I'm probably completely wrong.

 

Found a small pin hole leak where they welded the mounts for the UICP, will fix it tonight and see what happens, may end up using a spare UICP I have lying around.
