Re: Detonation
Yes, detonation is caused by the gas being ignited before it is suppose to. So the piston is being pushed down by the explosion before it is able to move done. Now you can imagine what kind of damage this can cause. So fixing it as quickly as you can is a good idea.

Re: Detonation
Depending on how modded your ride is any competant (sp?) mechanic should be able to help. if at all costs run the highest octane you can until you have a chance to address the detonation.

Re: Detonation
This is a random post, do you have any more details?
I mean, is this a modified motor we are talking about? stock? did you just perform maintenance?
Higher octane gas would only HELP with detonation if it was timing related most likely..
