Just to share. If anyone is also experiencing the metallic engine knocking/pre detonation noise at low speed or when getting on the gas to push the car, and has tried replacing the cheaper items such as spark plugs, coils, low pressure fuel sensors, etc, fouled injectors could be the real culprit
Cleaning performed on existing injectors with how many miles/years use? Super exciting to see that your vendor was able to get the flows so closely balanced.
