Yup... still having pinging issues. Upping the fuel pressure solved the lean issue to a certain extent... it's no longer setting the CEL. But the P0171 code is "pending" so the car still goes to limp mode and kicks on the fan.. if I clear it, it's fine... until it comes back. Usually I hear pinging if I'm in a higher gear and gun it, but it pings LOUD. If I downshift and have the rpms up high when I goose it, it's fine.
So yeah... I have the plugs set at 0.050", as stated in the install book. What do you peeps have 'em gapped to??

Hey John, I have the AC Delco rapid fire #5's at around .035-.040. Never heard my car ping since the install but it doesn't have the stock exhaust sytem either, a little loud! Good Luck.
1 also have rapid fires# 5 set at about .37... trying to get rid of some KR, but my car had no problems withe the stock plugs either
im getting the #5's today , hopefully ill be able to get it installed today
0.050 and running beautifully. Since Aug of last year I only had 2 flashing CEL.
Like 2 months ago I put the RKS boots to prevent this from ever happening again. Still running excellent.

O noes!
.030" got rid of it for me.... on the TR55's and Rapid Fire #5's.....

freakin auto zone sucks , the dillweed would only go by application , and looked at me stupid when i told him i wanted the #5's
lol......... I hate parts place employies..... they don't know an oil filter from a butt plug. And this is from someone that used to work for AutoZone at one point in my life.
I usually look up the parts myself........... and if I can't I dont leave till I get what I came in there for.
Eric...... I have a set of plugs you can try out.
