Is it a manual transmission? If so maybe the throwout bearing is dry and needs some lubrication or the timing chain guide?

You mean pinging? rattling/pinging as in bad gas, too much timing?

If you are handy with a timing gun, pull 5* off the distributor and see if that helps.

IF you are NOT handy with the gun, go get some octane booster (or some 100 octane fuel) and see if THAT helps.
