Is your enging pinging problem fixed?
I am just wondering people who experience engine pinging problem whether has been fixed or not, b/c mine seems was not fixed after TSB(09-041) done. :whyme:
|
I'm in the same boat, it got better but I still hear it and so did they but I got the old "some ping is normal" BS
I dont think it will harm anything but it is not what is should be for this brand. |
Mine's probably 99% gone. I hear hints of it every once in a while but only if I'm driving with the radio off. When I do hear it, the duration is only for a few seconds. I'm sure the engine is making noise more often than that and I just don't hear it.

I've wondered all along if what you guys are actually hearing is valve chatter and not pinging. Every single Honda I've ever owned has had noisy valves, including my TSX. It's not really loud, but audible from the cabin with radio off. Generally around 2K RPM's under light acceleration is when it's the most noticable.

TSB 09-019. No more pinging for me :)

It seems TSB not really fix the problem. My condition is pretty much same with you guys. It happens around 2k RPM with light acceleration. It is not loud, but 100% is noticeable even with radio on (volume 5-6). I totally agree it should not have a ping with 30k car. I just put 93 gasoline from Exxon. even though i don't believe name brand gasoline will fix the problem. I always have generic 93 gasoline. but i still want to give a try for one tank only which I can shut dealer's "BS". b/c they always ask people to use name brand 93 gasoline.
I think we pretty much stuck here until they have another TSB or may be not. |
update! Name brand gasoline is liar and huge "BS". I hear ping more often than generic brand. I always felt they did not replace my knock senor and update software, b/c it did not improve at all. I don't know can I go to other dealer to get TSB done again?

Good luck to those of you with the pinging |
mine still pings at certain rpm's and at times I don't even hear some times..i also think its a normal behavior for this car.

can someone please explain to me, exactly what is pinging? and how does it sound like? I've been trying to catch that "pinging" noise since there was a thread opened.. thanks!!

FYI, Have TSB-09-40 done with dealer. There is no significant improvement. I think TSB-09-40 only fixed more severe ping with moderate or heavy accleration.:whyme: |
