Default In the pingggk

Hi all,

I have a 2004 Fiesta that pings like crazy, even under normal driving conditions. I have had it in several times and nothing seems to get done about this problem. Anyone out there have a similar problem or solution?

Thanks.

Hi,

So far I have only run the car on 95 ULP. I will try a higher octane, but it seems crazy to have to be penalised for the "honour" of driving a Fiesta!! I have driven these in Europe and never had a problem with them.

95Ron should be fine. Run 98 through a few times and see if that helps.
