Sounds like its pinging check the EGR valve, ignition timing and could be the type of fuel you are using.

Hi there,

I would just like to add to the previous great advice, as you have not mentioned what type of engine you have, if it is a DFI type ignition (no distributor) you will have a knock sensor, this may be faulty, a scan will give a code for this problem.
