tuner causing spark knock?
so last fall i bought a SCT SF3/X3 Power Flash Tuner from AM, after installing the tune i noticed that under heavy acceleration i heard like a rattling noise coming from what sounded like the front left side of the car. I heard it might be something called spark knock...? do i have to advance timing/anyone who had this problem want to walk me through it? thanks guys
