On the engines right hand side on top of the suspension turret. If your car doesnt have a C12SE/14SE you wont have one. its done automatically.

same happened to me mate. its cause the engine isnt combusting all the petrol as you floor the accelerator. possible your oxygen sensor might be on the way out whixh is why it isnt combusting the petrol quick enough. that was what was wrong with mine anyway its annoying though i bet you have a loss of power aswell

Tried that. putting it on 98 with super unleaded makes it worse! i've also tried changing plugs, HT Leads, fuel addatives, timing belt, fuel filter and air filter.

thats cause your timing is out

you have a ron plug on your car, on one side it says 95 & on the other it says 98

your meant to plug in the 95 side if running unleaded & the 98 side if running super unleaded

it simply retards/advances the timing on the car depending on the fuel ur running

Ecotecs have a knock sensor which does this job automatically

Does anyone else have tapping / Pinking noise between 2000-3000RPM under load?
Ive got 14SRi 8v With Px induction kit. I have tried everything to stop it but only super unleaded seems to have any effect!
