I have a stocked out 94 st and my take off is really slow. This has just been happening recently. I can floor it and more noise than anything is happening. Does anybody know what might be wrong.
For example I can floor it in gravel and it doesn't even burn out, it's kinda scary entering a Hwy. and your barely moving. |

QUOTE set the timing to base, which is 10 degress below top dead center, change up to a high octane fuel and see if the knocking goes away. if it does then the issue is carbon buildup or something else causing a hotspot. make sure the plugs are the correct heatrange. If I recall right I did use a higher octane because I read that in the chiltons manual but I did'nt see no difference to tell you the truth it felt like I wasted more gas. If it is carbon build up or hotspot what can I do to treat it. |
