Pre-detonaton on 2000 XLT SOHC

Oct 18, 2003 0 Replies

Hi All,



I've been lurking for quite some time and posting where I could help. However, I've got a question regarding my 2000 SOHC.



I'm a little stumped........ In the first 15-20 minutes after startup, my truck appears to pre-detonate at 2k rpm - 3k rpm. It mainly does this at



1/4 to 1/2 throttle. I can let off or open the throttle to 3/4 or more and the noise disappears.

The intake gasket and tensioner recall has been done so I think that should rule out noises caused by those components. Is this pre-detonation or something else?



Any ideas?



Thanks in advance for the help!



Scott
