I live near a fairly busy intersection , and have noticed what seems to be a lot of newer model V6 Honda and Acuras (Odyssey, Pilot mainly) with spark knock from a dead stop, I don't know if I am describing it correctly as "spark knock" and if that's even a negative occurence, is it that these engines are tuned so efficiently that sligt knock under load is okay? I hear this sometimes in my Camry from a dead stop if I really step on it, if the radio is off, fan off and windows up, it's never triggered a check engine light and still runs perfectly , sorry I am not well versed in spark timing.
