    Pinging like a mofo...

    Bummer. Three weeks into my GIAC FX injector file with Genesis injectors and Sunoco 93 all the time. Just noticed it last night though because its been so nice out lately and I had the windows down.

    Did the plugs in this thread...http://www.audizine.com/forum/showth...hlight=pinging end the pinging issue?

    I'm due for new plugs/fuel filter/oil change anyway in the next couple of weeks.

    I have yet to have this issue and I use the oem style plugs from ECS. I hope your issue is remedied with the tune up..

    How many miles since the last plug change just so I have an idea of when I may have a problem?

    I bought the car w/ 39000 and it has 51000. I never changed them, so maybe they are original?

    When does the maintenence schedule call for plugs?
