Hey guys,
I need some help. I just swapped my mishimoto short ram intake for a PRL short ram intake [ordered a conversion kit for a cold air but is currently on back order] and after driving on the freeway for 40 minutes my knock control shot up in the last leg of my drive.
When i started the car, knock control was at .60 which I presume was normal and drop when i started driving gingerly.
I hopped on the freeway and prob only brought the engine up to 4500 rpm to pass some people and knock control was down at 0.55 and holding fine.
Now when I got off the freeway was when I noticed that my knock control and coolant temps go up. My knock went up to 0.65 after going up a pretty steep hill and then up to 0.71 after going up to another steep hill (why does my girlfriend live on steep hills ?_? )
After I parked, knock control was now at 0.71 I turned the car off and back on and boom got hit with a check engine light. Debating now if I should swap back to the stock intake if this would be a reoccurring issue. I do wanna note that todays weather is warmer than usual with temps getting up to 90 degrees, and is currently sitting at 81 degrees.
EDIT: Want to mention that I am tuned on TSP Stage 1 and was on Map 2. I'm also in California and the highest octane we have is 91
