Use the best gas you can buy and see if that clears up the problem. Pinging will kill your engine over time. My advice is to get it fixed immediately before major damage occurs. Check your timing too.

Pull the fuse(s) for your ECU and wait for a while(at least 5 minutes). Turn on your engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Turn off the car and then turn on and drive the car around. You will have reset your ecu.

you can always reset the ECU by pullig the positive on battery and leaving it off for about 20 minutes and then putting it back on, the problem is from the intake itself, your better off without it or getting an S-AFC to acompany it and fixing the air/fuel mixture, in the long run this will kill your engine if you leave it without the S-AFC
