Detonation problem

well, since they are due anyway, i would change the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, pvc valve, and fuel filter. cheap stuff that needs to be done anyway, if your problem is still there afterward, at least u can cross those off the list of possibilities.

Thats the plan for this weekend, except the wires (they are only like 6-8 mos old). I just thought it odd that it doesent seem to do it under heavy throttle. Only when cruising uphills.

Maybe the altitude causing it to run lean? The car was at sea-level its whole life, and then we moved up here in the mountains. Would 1k feet make a difference? (throwing out ideas at this point)

Thanks,
J
