Re: [T3] *tok* *tok* *tok* sound



Subject: [T3] *tok* *tok* *tok* sound

> My daily drive includes a few long, steep hills that I normally travel at
around 30-35 mph in 3rd gear at medium RPM.  It's a good load on the engine,
and I often slow down and move to 2nd gear to avoid lugging the engine.  In
the last couple of days I have noticed the *tok* *tok* *tok* sound when the
engine is under this load.  It goes away or lessens if I slow down and shift
into 2nd gear.

or gas of too low octane.  Does not have that high-frequency ballsy sound
that I've heard before.  This is definitely a lower frequency *toc* sound.
I don't hear anything like this at idle or at freeway cruising speeds.  Just
under heavy load going uphill.
