99 LX Pinging bad
I have a 99 LX 1.8 Non-VTEC that pings under load around 3k RPM or higher, and it's pretty bad. I run 87 gas and thats what I was told to use
It doesn't smoke, or anything... even if I floor it, it doesn't blow any kind of smoke... it just pings.
What would be some of the causes? It doesn't miss or knock, just pings...

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
