I decided to drive my car to the office today since it really hasn't been out of the garage since the WCC and decided that since I've got over 500 miles on it I should be able to take it a little higher in the rpm range. As I'm leaving my daughters school on a long stretch of road I shift into 3rd and step on the gas pretty good. Car pulls really strong up through 4k then I get this rapid knocking sound. Got nervous, backed off and sounds gone.
I drove this thing all the way to Camarillo and back over the grapevine with absolutely zero issues and even took it over 4k during the failed poker run attempt. Any thoughts??? |

The car had only been running for about 10-15 minutes. Warmed it up in the driveway for about 5 minutes drive the 2 miles to my daughters school, idled while I unloaded her stuff out of the trunk and the maybe 1/4 mile down the road is when I got on the gas and heard it right above 4k. Temp gauge was only about 1/3 from the left. Not even fully warmed up.
Gas is Chevron mid-grade from Camarillo.................. Weather was 70 degrees and breezy....................... |
