Default Clicking noise when spraying.

I tried the 100shot this past Saturday night, but every time I would hit the spray, I would hear a fast clicking noise so I would shut the spray off right away. It almost sounded like I was driving over some rocks or something. Any ideas on what this could be? I probably ran 15-20 bottles through the car last season without any issues. Could it be the noids?

Thanks in advance.

you are pinging. Add octane or retard timing.

What do you think is making it ping on a 100 shot? I'm running a 100 shot right now and haven't had any problems. I haven't retarded any timing and run the normal 93 octane pump gas. A 100 shot doesn't seem that big. That'll make me listen harder next time I spray.

Not everyone has 93 octane. Most of us in the southwest only have 91.
