HELP QUICKLY PLEASE! car on side of road MOD PLEASE MOVE THIS TO INTERNAL ENGINE
Man guys, I could seriously just cry.
I just finished up a heads and cam install on my '98. PP 58cc heads and 231/237 TSP cam.
Car ran fine yesterday for 20 minutes or so.
On the way to the muffler shop it started detonating really bad, I pulled over and parked, tried to reflash the VCM with the tune and pulled 20% of the timing. It starts up for a second and then starts detonating really bad a maxes out the KR gauge (HPT).
please help guys, I'll be searching meanwhile.

it starts up and revs a couple times for a second and then goes into mad KR. I dont think anything in the motor let go.
I havent beat on the car at all.

man guys, I starting to get that 'Lithium' feeling.
I noticed my pcv breather hose was off... I put it back on to no avail. I just took the throttle body off today to drill it to help the idle. Must have forgotten to put it back on
what happens when a knock sensor goes bad?
also the car is running open header right now.

after a couple seconds it sounds like really bad detonation.
also there was a small puddle of coolant under the passenger side of the car near the back of the motor. (Noticed after tow, could be related to the back head plug for the coolant crossover. I'll have to tear it apart tomorrow.
The loud noise sounds like a very retarded engine...that exhaust note if you know what I mean. It's very weird.
anybody have any ideas?? the knock sensor wires looked pretty smushed...is that a possibility?

hey guys, theres an update in the internal engine section.
long story short : I didn't get the rockers tight enough and two exhaust rockers backed off to the point of staying closed. This was causing the pinging. Torqued the rockers down to spec like I should have the first time and she ran great. Only problem is that I now have a coolant leak. I'm not sure if I chunked a head gasket or if that plug opposite the coolant sensor is leaking. More to come this weekend!
thanks for the support guys, Nick
