hi, i have an 87 5speed. i noticed that most of the time when i accelerate from a stop( from zero to mabey 15kmph) that my car seems to ping. i have never noticed this durring WOT. i have checked iginition timing and cam timing, both are good. i was thinkin that since i have a sizable vac\boost leak that it was running lean causing the detonation. my question is has anyone ever had a similar experince, or know what could be casuing this problem?
thanks for your help

Sounds to me like you answered your own question. Fix the leak. If you still got the problem I will refund your money

Leak under low throttle (vacuum) will cause a lean condition, while the same leak under boost will cause a rich condition, as metered air is being vented. Under vac, unmetered aor is being sucked in.
