Was out yesterday, running errands in stop and go traffic. Really hot outside, 110. When I would park for a short time and restart the car it would ping under moderate acceleration for about 5 minutes and then stop. Other than that, it ran great. I only use Chevron premium, tops you get here is 91 octane and it contains all smog additives during the summer months. Coolant temp never got over 235, the oil temp would spike a little during the short term pinging and then cool down. I have a 160 stat with Hypertech programmer to kick the fan on sooner on a 1996 LT1 with 48k miles. Before the stat and programmer, it would run at least 10 degrees hotter and would get hot much quicker.
Thoughts? Maybe a bad tank of gas?
At my age, I would prefer to use the term ping, premature anything scares me.
Thanks
