Engine Knocking


Well since I put my new tune on for 89 octane. Well under light acceleration my engine sometimes knock. And sometimes at idle my idle fluctuates a little more than I think it should giving me a little bit of a rough idle. Almost like my engine is kinda starving myself. since it only happened after I got my tuner, and when I put the stock tune back on it goes away. What can I do to adjust my tune to get rid of the knocking?

Lol I plan on doing that, but I was hoping for a cheaper fix until then.

i would just keep running the 87 octane tune to be safe until then. i don't know enough about tuning to really advise you, that's why i said take it to DTP. knowing the reputation Frank and Brent have over there, they'll probably get the car to make more power than before.
