97 Buick Riv pinging & knocking

Nov 27, 2003 1 Replies

I've got a 97 Buick Riviera with 170,000 miles. It just recently starting pinging and knocking (usually when I am going up small inclines). Engine runs smooth, engine temp seems normal, any ideas of cause or what I can do to stop it?



Carbon buildup increasing compression ratio?
