Is this pinging?
At idle in the cabin I hear the engine. I don't know much about engines but am i supposed to be able to hear the movement of the pistons or something when idling? sounds very machine like.
I was told on a few occasions that my car was pinging though.
Zcar garage let me know that i was pinging at high rpm.
and an infiniti tech said that i was pinging because i was not using premium fuel I always use premium in fact, the only type of fuel i use is shell v-power

Isn't pinging only a problem with turbo-ed cars? This probably isn't the same problem you guys are experiencing.

I don't see why my engine would knock with MREV+ alone. Everything else is stock.
