Knock Knock, engine knock?
Well, I let my mom borrow my car and it was pretty close to empty so she thought she would do me a favor and fill it up (with 89 regular gasoline) Today I drive the car and its knocking upon acceleration. and it knocks sometimes a little at idle. Im thinking and hoping its just pre-ignition knock, I was just wondering what I should do about this?

Ill check that out although I put a new filter in it a few weeks ago. It honestly is starting to sound like a rod knock actually. it knocks at idle, knocks when accelerating (although the car has a major lack of). Not sure though, I wanna rule out the gas before I order a used engine.
