past couple days on the way home from work I'll be going up a slight hill in 5th or 4th and my cel will flash for knock. I can't remember what I have the threshold set at. I have a cel for a fuel pressure solenoid could that be related. It seemed to start happening before I got the cel. I've got a 16g with stock fuel right now but set at stock boost. But when it happens I may only be in like 4-5 pounds of boost
 
i had a similar issue some time ago while cruising in 5th going up hill. From time to time it still happens to me with pump gas. do you have a wideband to read air fuel ratios?

With the throttle position at a low percentage, low'ish rpms, and a large load on the engine, what tends to happen is that the engine will run lean and will lightly knock. when my CEL came on i could never hear or feel the knock, i would only see the light flicker.

you running dsmlink or maft?
 
I get 93 at a surefine. Fill up once a week. Maybe I'll try a tank of eth free from kwikfill. What ever it is maybe it will be an excuse to get those fuel upgrades I've been procrastinating on.
