I agree with Ron's analysis of your engine's pinging symptoms. The first thing to suspect is the accumulation of gunk from the crankcase ventilation system into the combustion chambers. I would suggest to run some quality fuel-injector cleaner through the system, either Techron or BG44K or Redline Fuel System Cleaner. Those are among the most effective, yet are reasonably gentle on your engine. For a more extreme approach in cleaning combustion chambers though, you could try the GM product "Kleens". I am not sure if it is still available, as it is nasty messy chemical stuff. As I recall it is applied directly into the intake manifold with the engine running and causes the engine to sputter and belch smoke clouds out the exhaust, but is claimed to work very well for its intended application. I knew mechanics ten years ago that used to swear by that stuff how well it cleaned out an engine's combustion chambers. PS hey people don't forget to stop in at "Car Nut Corner", as the traffic's been pretty light lately: Subject 20243
