If you have a true pinging condition you need to figure it out quickly. Generally pinging is caused by either a lean fuel condition, carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, over advanced ignition timing, wrong spark plugs, or overheating.
This could be due to a winter fuel having too much ethanol for the engine to handle in the warmer conditions. Are you sure no one put E85 in the tank?
True pinging (pre-ignition) can ruin your engine if not resolved fairly quickly. I have seen it blow hole into pistons.
Good luck man, let us all know what you figure out.
