I know nothing about cars and don't really know what to do, can someone please help me???

I have 67000 miles and I'm sorry I have no idea what mods or stock is I know nothing about a car. I just know someone said it keeps spark knocking, what ever that is. I can't keep changing spark plugs every two or three weeks I need to know what is wrong with it!!

Does it still have warranty?

Any codes?

Sometimes if it is an emissions failure you still have warranty into the 70,000 mile range. Definitely get a scan done of the engine systems.

Another thing is to try and buy a higher grade gas on your next fill up. From a different supplier than what you are using now.

Good luck,

MK
