Re: Spark detonation help still needed

Well 2 tanks of "good" Mobil gas ran and still spark detonation. Guess I'll go back to the stock tune and maybe adjust the injector slope. Not sure what the 87 tune adjust but it's not for my truck. No issue with the detonation when it was a stock tune. The milage booster tune would detonate worse ...

Spark detonation help still needed

Had posted previously and received some help them nothing. So thought I would try again.
2007 GMC Sierra 5.3 gas new body style. U7194 with 9r31 I installed the 87 tune and I was getting spark detonation in the lower RPM.

I am using Shell gas and I cleaned the MAF with MAF cleaner. My ltft was at ...

Re: Spark knock

at 65* intake air temp , your average LTFT's should be at about +1.5%... Also, you can't just install a tune and then do a new log right away... Every time you install/re-install a tune (or disconnect the battery), all of the learned items like idle, airflow, fueling/fuel trims, emissions readiness ...

Re: Spark knock

Ok I was just going by what you had said in a previous post of yours on making adjustments.
LS1/LS2/LS3/LS4/LS7 etc. - LOGGING, ADJUSTING INJECTOR SLOPE
"After you make an injector slope adjustment, you will want to do another log to verify the average LTFT's again. Drive for about 30 miles to let ...

Re: Spark knock

the timing adjustment in the tuner is only for WOT.
The 87 tune does not add any timing, so if its knocking on the 87 tune my guess is the AFr is lean, i'd try adding some fuel.
Ok. It has 3 different rpm ranges for adjustment to the timing so I just assumed it would be for that range not the wot ...

Re: Spark knock

Honestly not an issue I have ever heard of with that tune.
Can you try one of the 87 octane or other tunes to see if the issue persists?
Yes even with the 87 tune I get low RPM detonation. I set the timing on the low rpm setting back to -7 and still have it. Like if I'm on a highway with the ...

Re: Spark knock

Yes even with the 87 tune I get low RPM detonation. I set the timing on the low rpm setting back to -7 and still have it. Like if I'm on a highway with the cruise set and start pulling up a hill it's sounds awful. Went back to the stock tune and it goes away. Went back to the 87 changed my injector ...

Spark knock

2007 GMC Sierra 5.3 gas new body style. U7194 with 9r31 I installed the MPG Boost tune and I was getting spark detonation in the lower RPMs. I retarded the timing to -5 still seem to have it so I went back to -7 and it seems worse. I did the data log but of course I have no idea what I am looking at ...

Ok when i went to download the file you gave me to my tuner it says, "Can't downgrade u7194 from 9r16 to 9r31"
And what is odd my tuner says v.9r17 not the 16
