I was logging to and from work mainly because that's the majority of my driving. I logged for a few days and compared the logs. I didn't pull timing for the random ones, just the ones that occurred on at least two logs. 

Easily repeatable? Didn't try that. But the multiple logs taken in roughly the same conditions on the same route might count for that.

Ordered a new Tactrix cable. Got the OBD extension too, don't want to karate chop another one. Current Tactrix still works, just dropped connection a time or two on a logging run. USB connector is bent. Don't wanna brick me ECU with a dodgy connection...

Once the new one comes in I'm re-flashing the base map EJ257 pointed me toward. I fudged something up on it and didn't take notes.

ugh...

I am about to start pulling my hair out. 

Might as well pull out my spark plugs and look at them first right?

I've been on top of my maintenance. Plugs have like 10k on them at most, oil gets done before 4k, all exhaust gaskets are fresh, nothing is loose that I know of. I cleaned my air filter(COBB) then my MAF a couple of days later.

enough.. to the toolbox!

dug around my engine bay for a while. couldn't find anything loose or leaking. pulled a spark plug and it looked ok.

my new tactrix cable came in on Sat I didn't even check the mail or the tracking number...fail.

anyway flashed it back to my old map. It never dropped IAM on me. I'm going to do the work and back log a few times for a sanity check then off to do some pulls. So next couple of days I should be sorted.

what heatsoak?

initial IAM on this map is 14 so it climbed a little. HOORAY! I did see a touch of knock on one of my 4 work and back logs. I'm going to keep logging and see where and if I need to pull timing. I think I need to work on fueling too. 10% eth maybe what she's drinking...

Still knocking slightly. No IAM drops yet but still getting feedback knock. Tweaked the map a little, scaled the MAF some, knock got better. I think I found the physical location on my log route where I knock. There's a traffic light just before a hill. Zero throttle at light then opening throttle while going up hill. I need to verify that but that looks like what's going on. Knock, just had to type it again. Knockers.
