Have you tried the fuel filter? What octane gas are you using? What kind of spark plugs?

Default '97 4.6 ping

My '97 with 195,000 on it spent much of its life pinging under most load conditions. Changed to non-ethanol premium at about 150,000, end of problem. Surprised I haven't broken a ring or something worse.
