astravan problem.......
hi folks, got a daul fuel astravan 1600 8v engine. Just recently when hot, the engine has began to 'pink' under load conditions, horrible
faint rattle sound.
Engine does not do the same when running on lpg?? however i have been having problems with lpg system since this noise? am i correct in thinking knock
sensor should detect the knock and alter timing? engine management light is OFF
any ideas??
