  • Car developed a strange KNOCK!

    Well last night I installed the MiniAFC from ZZP. Got it tuned pretty well, O2's were running about 830-870 depending on RPM. It did take some work to get it that close. I had runs where I was really lean and others when I was really rich. Back and forth a few times. I wonder if this may have caused any damage to my engine. This knocking sound im not sure what it is and I havent had any time to troubleshoot it. It is sitting at home parked. I will look at it tonight but can you give me any ideas? I did notice while driving the knocking noise got worse. And my RPM's fall very very fast wich is not like my car at all. And I recently did a cam swap but its been running very smooth for about 2 weeks now. So Im not sure this knocking noise is even related.

    Please help with any tips, ideas. I will post an update later after I get a chance to look at it some more.

    preston, are you saying you can hear something knock.. pop the hood and have someone rev the car while you pinpoint where the knock is coming from..... is everything tight?

      also, .83 is pretty lean...id run the 02's from .86-.89, it may be detonation if its too lean...

          No sir. No joke. You know my situation and it is true. I am parting out the motor and doing a V8 swap.
