Engine Mechanical problem
1992 Chevy Astro 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 118k miles

I get pinging and loss of acceleration once the engine warms up and is under load. happens more frequently in higher gears. It lessens somewhat with 93 octane. Is this damaging the engine, and whow do I correct it?
