Getting knock on E85
Posted: Tue Sep 27, 2022 9:12 pm
I'm hoping someone can help! I wasn't getting any knock on 91 octane but notice knock almost always around 5-7psi and in the 5-7k rpm range. I have a quick log attached where it shows 1 count of knock. It will normally show 2 or 3 counts of knock on each pull. The car is flex fuel and I notice it doesn't matter what percentage of ethanol is in the tank. I have it adding up to 3 degrees but haven't ever found a station to get anywhere near E85.
Is it running too rich while on the E85? Is the timing to advanced? Is the motor just making noise?
Thank you in advance.
