It was a stuck EGR valve. In the summer time with a humid weather there was enough water vapor in the air to prevent the pinging. However in the winter time the pinging would return. At light throttle or heavy throttle there was no pinging. Hav you tryed a super unleaded? Irv McNair Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
