RE: 2004 Mustang V6 - Pinging at Acceleration.
Mikel et al, can you guys help me out? It has been 3 days and I'm still anxiously waiting for your suggestion/answer. I've already re-loaded the 87 octane tune with 87 octane gas but not too happy about the mediocre performance for the money that I spent for the programmer. If I continue to use the ...

RE: 2004 Mustang V6 - Pinging at Acceleration.
I was wondering why you guys don't have a 91 tune? California is not the only state with 91 only. Will that be an option in the near future?

Mikel et al, Do you have any more ideas/suggestions? Should I take mine in for a dyno tune?

RE: 2004 Mustang V6 - Pinging at Acceleration.
Mikel,
I loaded the 93 tune and retarded the timing w/ a .5 deg increment to -3 deg but the engine still knock during acceleration so I gave up and re-loaded the 87 tune. Do you have any other suggestion or I have to stick w/ the 87 tune? Let me know. Can you also clarify question #4 as well ...

RE: 2004 Mustang V6 - Pinging at Acceleration.
Hi Mikel,
Please clarify question #4, so if I tuned the car w/ the 87 or 93 tune, the car can pass smog check without re-installing the factory tune, correct? Thank you so much for your help.

RE: 2004 Mustang V6 - Pinging at Acceleration.
Hi Mikel, I'd like to fine tune my car so can you help address all the questions I have above? Here they are again:
1) With the K&N CAI and x-pipe dual Spintech mufflers exhaust, is my car already running lean with the factory tune? Do I need to inject more gas for a better fuel/air mixture prior ...

RE: 2004 Mustang V6 - Pinging at Acceleration.
Thanks Mikel. Are you the same person that I talked to when I called in this morning? Anyway, another question: Since I have the K&N CAI (w/ stock mass air sensor & throttle body though) and x-pipe true dual Spintech mufflers exhaust. With more cold air intake and better exhaust flow, is my car ...

RE: 2004 Mustang V6 - Pinging at Acceleration.
I've also noticed that not all gasoline are the same, one could cause pinging and other don't. Not sure if it has to do w/ the additives they put into their gasoline or just the quality of the gasoline. I currently use 76 Gasoline and it's one of the top tiers. Btw, later on when I need to take the ...

RE: 2004 Mustang V6 - Pinging at Acceleration.
The distributor where I bought the programmer from told me retarding the timing won't fix the pinging using the 93 octane tune w/ 91 octane gas but I don't believe that. At what point of retarding the timing (how many degree) where I should just use the 87 octane tune? Thanks.
