"Dieseling" sound when accellerating
« Reply #15 on: December 22, 2011, 05:14:00 AM »
Is there actually any noticeable reduction of power when it's making the noise?  If not I highly doubt that it has any sort of miss.  Granted, a high-end miss is possible; but very unlikely unless your plug wires are coated with oil or your plugs are bad.

No power loss.  The plugs and plug wires are new.

It was the timing, had it checked and set and the knock is gone.

They called it a "spark knock".
