Default Cold Air Intake Problems

Is it common for a car to ping after a CAI install? I have a 1990 honda accord dx and right @ about 4000 RPM's it will ping a little bit. Coud it have possibly thrown my timing off?

I did that & it still does it. I did it twice just to be shure.

I really noticed it after the installation. It just makes a pinging sound. My old car did that so I know what it sounds like. I have yet to do basic checks like plugs, distributer, etc. Maby its just a coincidence.

I am not really set up to do that. How would I do that or is it something I can have a mechanic do?
