Getting knock w/ 3.4 pulley & All suported mods

**GOTIT4CHEAP16** · 10-04-2010

How do i check the rail pressure? I was cleaning my engine bay the other day and everything looked good and i don't have any type of leaks or anything. Yes i am running a stock 2004 monte carlo bin tune.

Also would running seafoam in my gas tank cause my fueling to be like that. I filled up monday night on my way to work and added seafoam in to clean out my injectors. I am still running that gas even during the scans. I filled up w/ 93.

No that should be fine. You need to add fueling to the 7K HZ-11,500 hz range. And alot of it. If i had to toss a number id say 8-9 percent. Check fuel pressure at the schrader valve

Okay. Thanks gpg. Could you point me to the schrader valve?

apparently torque management just takes the timing out directly and doesnt show up as KR.

schrader valve has a black cap on it and its located on the fuel rail. Twists off.

Thanks matt. Would i need some special tool to check the pressure?

yeah, parts store should have a fuel pressure testing kit.

its cheapish.

Note IGN V isn't your timing in those scans you posted. Not sure if you noticed that.

kinda. i was seeing 'false' knock retard because of it pulling timing at shifts. just a little bit though.

also, 3* is not a lot, even on a 3.4 pulley.

What's acceptable on a 3.4 pulley?

Timing retard from torque management will not be in the form of knock retard.

Knock retard is exactly what the name says, timing retarded from the presence (or if you believe in false knock, perceived presence) of knock by the pcm and knock sensors.

@OP... Burn up a tank of gas and get the SeaFoam out of it.. Then start your scanning for tuning. I doubt you will be running SeaFoam every day you drive in the future..
