No point at all in the chip. You would be tackling the symptom and not the cause, and I doubt it would make any difference at all. | |

My car doesnt have a RON Plug, the timing is controlled by the ECU, checked the engine for air leaks, the pinking isnt so violent now, however still there, gonna get the compression checked soon, also checked the timing today, timing is too fast, which would explain pinking, but it cannot be altered because of fixed distrubutor. Fecking ECU's !! | |

quote: I used optimax in my old SPi lump... RON plug was set to 95 (on the 1.4 its only 91/95 selectable) and I never got no pinking... | |

ron plug is located top left of engine bay - should be saying 95 on it from the top... | |

using optimaz and not changing the ron plug may cause pinking. why you using optimax anyway? | |

would agree with amiee get playing with them go to scrappies and get all the colours you can and try them all individually and try disconnecting the battery for a few hours to reset ecu | |

Getting peeved off with my Corsa 1.4 8v, its been pinking for over 6 months now, ever since i used fooking Shells Optimax, the noise is like shaking a bag of nails, and i know my performace has been cut down, I have checked the spark plugs and HT Leads as it only had a service 2 month ago. I took it down to my local Auto Tuning garage and they said that it was pinking, so they checked the ECU for fault codes, none showed up on three seperate occasions. |
