does it happen only when your under a heavy load, like 5th gear full out goin up a hill or is it mostly constant??? if its only under heavy load... its probabily a low octane knock... step up the fuel to 108 octane and it will probabily stop, if your runnin 91 that is... I used to have that problem when i ran 91 octane pump gas...
