Pinging sound in a1995 Honda civic engine?
If there is a pinging sound in a 1995 Honda Civic engine, the engine could be out of oil. If the engine was operated with no oil for a period of time, the rings and pistons could have become damaged or broken.
Does 2002 vw passat v6 engine need 91octane fuel?
Yes. It's a higher compression engine which requires a higher octane level to help prevent "pinging" in the engine. This engine does have the intelligence built-in that detects "pinging" and retards the engine timing to prevent to pinging from occuring. Pinging is when the gas explodes early while the piston is still going up. This can cause damage to the piston over time, something that's expensive to fix. If you put 87 octane in the tank the car will detect the pinging early, retard the timing to save the engine but the fuel economy and performance goes down. Generally speaking you'll pay more in gas by dumping 87 in the tank than filling it up with the good stuff since the performance is better.

The sensor senses when the engine is pinging or called spark knock. It then sends a signal to the engine control module. The engine control module then temporarily retards the timing until the pinging stops.
Is a rapid constant pinging or knocking in engine due to egr problem or what other possibilities?
Check the engine timing first. Pinging or knocking,especially under acceleration could be early detenation caused by advanced timing.
Can a bad ignition control module cause pinging?
Yes, a faulty ignition control module can contribute to pinging in an engine. Pinging, or pre-ignition, occurs when the air-fuel mixture ignites prematurely in the combustion chamber. If the ignition control module is not providing the correct timing for spark delivery, it can lead to improper combustion and increased engine knock, resulting in pinging. It’s important to diagnose and address any ignition system issues to maintain optimal engine performance.
What kind of gas does a Chevy Camaro take?
depends on engine... compression ratio etc. i have a 94 lt1 with 10.5 compressin ratio most car engines are 8-9.5...:( 91 or better won't hurt if you don't need it. but if you do you will notice a knock or pinging sound under hard acceleration or going up hills.
If your knock sensor goes out how would your car run?
