are they related? will running your engine too cold cause pinging?? also I'm running very rich with an untuned power FC.

my car constantly runs at 78degree celsius. Upgraded radiator w/evans coolent and an oil cooler without thermostat.

After the car died I removed the plugs and they were really black. What do you guys see as causes of this??

One of the biggest problems with a "cold" engine is your oil is not flowing very well.&nbsp Inferior lubrication means lots of engine noise.&nbsp This can be easily picked-up as knock by a knock sensor.&nbsp If you're seeing elevated EGT's, your cold-start enrichment is mis-tuned.
