the sound is like you know when you driving those old cars and the points and condenser want changing and the car gets some strain eg going up a hill.also the fan belts were changed and tensioned properly.thks

I getting the same thing, usualy when the sun is hot, I retarded the distributer a degree and it stop but ah feel ah lost some power. I running normal unleaded gas, tried it with the premium was getting the same thing.

ah feel it have a lot to do with the inlet temperature of the air. I had everything checked out, ECU & injectors. Every thing O.K.

Me to I getting the same sometimes, I have checked timing and is excellent.
but I have learned that the quality of our Gas is poor, that is very good reason.

The only other option is to run an octane boost, but ah don't want to go that way. That is additional expense. The next option is to wait for engine to mash-up, then go down on knees and beg wifie to allow me to change out engine and transmission.
