Well... got another can of Seafoam cleaner today. Put a tiny bit over 1/3
into the PCV valve. I'll be damned if it didn't smoke like a SOB. ****ty thing is... I saw smoke coming out of the first catalytic converter on the passenger side. Oh well. I planned on getting a new H-pipe anyway with hi-flow cats. I poured the rest of the Seafoam into the gas tank (which had 91 octane in it). I followed instructions... shut it off for 5 mins.. restarted it.. smoke came out. I hammed the **** outta it & smoke stopped coming out after a little bit. But I heard pinging. Boy was I ****ed. So I go to gas station & put in 89 octane instead of 87 or 91... and pinging is *completely* gone on 89. Going to try 87 next time. I only put in a little gas to mix in with the seafoam (which I guess was too strong with such little 91 octane.. 2 gallons in there max.). -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Full Boar turbo mufflers Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors > wrote in message om... > Car is pinging every new and then at full throttle... maybe 1/5 times.
