i checked the bolts on the supercharger and they were still tight, i re-gapped the plugs and its still knocking.... But when the hood is popped you can hear a leak... the damn thing sounds like a whipple.... i checked all the tubes and everything but all seem to be o k, thats why i think its gotta be that gasket. But i dropped it off at the dealership and told them i didnt feel like pulling it off so they are going to. If im getting too much air and running rich is that going to knock? its gotta be right?

 

The Knocking is usually associated with a lean or predetonation condition. With the air leak, it would be in line with a lean condition.

 

but witht he air leak, the engine through a rich code and a idleing to high code....

 

I have stage 4 and also have the whistling from the supercharger at idle. My car seems to run just fine though. The kit was also installed by the guys at Intense.

 

it didnt sound like this RIGHT after the install though, it just started....

 

Mine has whistled since the day it was installed.

 

hmmm maybe i just got a bad batch of gas theN? any ideas on how to check if your gas is 93 lol?

 

could a lower octane fuel cause me to run rich?

 

Low octane gas causes Detonation. Not a lean condition.

Sounds liek you may have the O2 tweaked a little two on your exhaust side. If it sits that far south. Never did liek the post cat 02 setups. Stupid ass stuff IMO that's there just so you HAVE to run a cat even if it's setup to drive to the track, run, and then drive back. You still need all your emmissions crap so you dont' ruin the environment in California. *End rant*

 

well i think that is why im knocking...... hmm anyone know if lower octane could possibly lead to running rich/idleing high?

 

i hope your not running the cheapy gas, that would cause detination, your car calls for premium fuel only even stock!! in the owners manual it says if you run low octane fuel it will cause detination and possably engine damage.

 

Yea i was running low on cash so i threw in some 87....

 

Thats the problem.... especially with the stage 4 anything above stock REQUIRES premium only even stock it is recommended.... I hope you didn't blow a hole through one of your pistons.

 

that was a joke... of course i didnt fuel up with 87 , im thinking the gas station i went to screwed me b/c i put in what was supposed to be 93, and all this **** happend. But i put some octane booster in it and so far its running great, also have had 2 tanks of gas since so everything is solved except for my dead clutch .

 

how about CCA-82003-4 $27.39/4

could this be the one step colder ones

 

rich code means ur ltft went past -15 meaning ur throwing more fuel in than needed. a scan tool could tell u where the even happened then we could go from there.
