    Hi all,
    My Corsa B (C14SE engine) is making pinking noises when under load. I've
    checked the air filter, replaced the spark plugs and leads and put some
    redex through the tank (the fuel filter is a year old, but it has had
    regular doses of redex).

    I have no idea whether the pinking noise is being caused by a too-high or
    too-low fuel/air ratio, but seem to have run out of options. Could it be the
    cam timing?

    What do you mean by dizzy cap? The C14SE has no distributor.

    My dad had this one a old toyota cresida slowly it got worse till
    finaly through pure fuel starvation while on a long journey the car
    spitted and farted to a halt when the fuel filter was taken off
    although only a few months old it was blocked solid, take the filter
    off and try blow through it if you cant or its hard id go for a new
    feul filter its cheaper that doing with a new engine
