Default Pinging

Thought I had gotten some bad gas two weeks ago,but have run ten gallons through,plus Sea Foam,changed the spark plugs,rear one has some hard deposits on it looks pretty white on electrode,front looks pretty normal,intake bolts seem tight,wonder if map or crank sensor sending wrong signal to ecm whenoperating temp is normal,when engine cold it seems ok when the power is put on,after it's up to operating temp it pings on the rear cylinder under load.What do you think?

Default RE: Pinging

Don't know what's causing the ping, but a thousand miles after I changed to synthetic oil half my noise went away. Other than that, sounds like you're on the right road.
