For years I had problems with my truck (2.8 liter V-6, 5 speed, with throttle body fuel injection) in regards to pinging when going uphill.
I did everything my mechanically inclined co-workers/friends and/or automotive newsgroups recommended:
-gas filter
-air filter
-tried gas from every different gas station in town
-tried octane increase additives
-tuneup
-new plugs
-new plug wires
-new electronic module inside distributor
-new distributor cap and rotor
- bought an OBD-I tester and daily monitored settings and readings, over a month period.
Everything except replace the several hundred dollar ECM electronic control module.
About 2005/2006, I discovered the Bosch +2 plugs. I bought a set of 6 and installed them.
Immediately my "pinging under load" issue decreased by at least 75% or more.
July 2011 - these newer Bosch +4 Iridium plugs were...Read more
