Spark knock coming off idle after WOT

I recently got a problem of whenever I do a good WOT run, the next light or stop I make, when I take off I get some ping(about 1 full second and under 2k), but only after a WOT run. The harder the run, the more ping it is.


It started it recently. No tuning or changes were done when it started so I think it is a mechanical problem, although it does seem to do it when spark advance comes in.

I have changed the plugs and no help. FP is steady and timing will be confirmed tonight.

Oh yeah, car in sig(speed density)

Chris

Possibly an injector that is sluggish.

Injector balance test. That leaves the injectors in the engine, but you need the tester and a fuel pressure guage. Actron used to sell the tester for $20 from their site, don't know if they still do or not.
