Post #4 stated preignition. That's typically timing.

Sorry, not bagging on you. The intent is so other newbs such as yourself don't think the first step is to pour crap in it.

I understand you're trying to learn and it's hard to sort through all the BS to get the real information because there are a ton of threads out there that someone poured something into an orifice and it magically fixed and itself.

Some of us that have done a lot of real diagnosing and real troubleshooting (NOT just plugging it into a computer to tell you what sensor to change next) can walk through this stuff because we learned it the hard way. There were no computers or OBD systems to tell us where to start.

We're typically salty old dogs and we bark a lot.
Just listen and kid your head.

Then get off our lawn.

Sorry I missed your original post back in May.

I’m not even that old and I’m salty.

Interesting, I would have sworn that was vacuum leak.
Well, now I know what to listen for.
