Motor pings under load in overdrive when using a/c at 40-45 mph. requires taking out of overdrive manually. dealer reports no codes upon computer check. engine also pings in winter on load going up grade at 40-45 mph in overdrive. dealer reported engine computer indicates very lean condition when forst purchased....no correction available. mileage excellent 20-21 around town and 27-30 on highway. this is a great van except for the pinging. have tried mid range and premium fuel and premium with no better results. my research show a spark knock sensor is present....is it supposed to sense this problem and correct timing or is there another possible fix?*ak |
