An occasional light "nocking" or "Pinging” under heavy load is not a cause for concern. However, if the knocking or pinging occurs under normal load at a steady engine speed, the problem may be with the brand of gasoline being used.
SOLUTION
Turn engine switch to ON. Fill fuel tank.
Check engine oil level and fill, if necessary Replace spark plug.
Clean fuel sediment cup. Move fuel valve to ON position Turn ON the AC circuit breaker. Try a different item.
Switch to a different brand of gasoline, making sure that the octane rating is 86 or higher. If problem continues, contact your nearest authorized service center.
