my truck broken??? Its confusing me
« on: December 25, 2003, 02:54:44 PM »
I thought it needed high test gas.  It is still doing the same thing as before.  Under moderate throttle, sounds like a diesel, but if I ease off, it sounds good the whole rpm range. ????.  Passed the etest with flying colors, new bosh platinum plugs. plenty of power.

recommended plugs.   I have not checked timing yet, thought running 92 octane would have fixed that

I'll check it tomorrow.  What would piston slap sound like?  that would change under power, right?

Sort of a diesel sound, but usually only
when cold.

I really notice it when cold.  not so much when warm, but still there.  When I changed to high test gas, I thought I had it licked, but I may have had two different problems.

my yamaha virago 1000 did have that on one of the two cylinders, I knew what it was.  This sounds like it's all of them on every stroke.
