Hi all,

My car is pinging, and premium gas didn't help, so my it's been suggested that I adjust the timing. I'm not sure how to do that..... tips? instructions?

It's been recommended that I adjust it by about 5 degrees. I don't know yet (since i'm at work, and my car isn't) if there are degree markings that I can reference. Also, I believe I adjust it counter-clockwise (assuming I am facing the rear of car).... sound right? I'm not going to rush out and do it, I want to get som good feedback 1st.

ANy special tools needed? Also, any suggestions for other stuff to try to make the pinging stop before I try this?


much thanks!!!!

susan.
