Any help would be appreciated
I,ve had my camaro for about three months and i have just been
fixing a few things before registration.The owner before me had it sitting in his warehouse for over two years (never started it).
Anyway i,ve driven it 9 or 10 times since i,ve had it and if you are just cruising along it is fine.The problem is as soon as you put your foot down in any gear(auto) it starts to ping real BAD.Could it be fuel pump,injectors need to be cleaned,timing or just new plugs,leads,cap and rotor from sitting so long.
Or any common problem these cars had with pinging.
Thanks
Jeff.

 

Try draining the gas tank and starting with new...sounds like bad fuel to me

 

make sure you have decent gas in there

you want to use the lowest octane you can without the car pinging


also check your timing and make sure that is on the mark

does the car just ping or are there other things it will do also

 

Besides the car pinging it runs fine.I have already refilled the
fuel tank with fresh stuff so i,ll try to blow out the fuel lines and see what happens.
Thanks
Jeff.

 

my first guess was bad gas. but since thats not it, check the spark timing. mine started to ping pretty bad a few weeks back. i checked everything out, and it turned out that the distributor hod down bracket had loosened itself up and the distributer turned and messed up the timing. hope this helps. later
