Boosted1 Member 346 Member For: 16y 3m Posted 24/01/10 04:20 AM Share Posted 24/01/10 04:20 AM hello everyone.I have had my ute tuned for about 4 months now and I am worried that it is pinging, I know what it sounds like and what I am hearing sounds exacally like it. I am running 98 octain fuel all the time too. the tuner out the option on my x cal to retard the timing but I am finding doing that comfusing. it has as follows.0-20002000-40004000-8000and when you go into them they have the timing 6deg 4dec etc etc. but how do I know what degree it is set to, to retard it slightly??? hmmany help would be goodcheersps has anyone closed the gap on plugs slightly too??

If he still cant fix it id be asking for a full refund and take it to someone who knows what theyre doing.ps yes plugs get regapped to 0.8 or slightly less depending on tuner preference.

If that's the case just drive it around gently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
