do you have a really heavy set of keys? sometimes it will mess up the inside of the ignition switch and cause that. Could also be a chaffed wire in the column.

Whats your battery voltage do when this happens? I'm guessing it drops way down into the red.

Certainly could be that as well. Check for any lose connections under the hood.

If it's pinging at 10, 14 will just make it worse. If that is your problem definately do not bump the timing up at any cost. You might have just got a bad batch of gas that is causing it to ping ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
