A method includes receiving a signal indicative of a change in an air-fuel ratio (AFR) for a mixture of air and fuel entering a first combustion chamber of a combustion engine, advancing firing timing of the first combustion chamber, receiving, from a knock sensor, a knock signal indicating that the combustion engine has begun to knock, determining a knock margin of the first combustion chamber based on when the combustion engine begins to knock, and storing the knock margin as associated with the knock timing and the AFR.

1. A method, comprising: receiving, at a controller, a signal indicative of a change in an air-fuel ratio (AFR) for a mixture of air and fuel entering a first combustion chamber of a combustion engine;advancing firing timing of the first combustion chamber via the controller, in response to the change in the AFR until the combustion engine begins to knock;receiving, at the controller, from a knock sensor, a knock signal indicating that the combustion engine has begun to knock;determining, via the controller, a first knock margin of the first combustion chamber based on when the combustion engine begins to knock;storing the first knock margin as associated with the knock timing and the AFR; andwhen the knock signal is received, determining whether the AFR has been previously stored, and:if the AFR has been previously stored, operating under the previously stored AFR associated knock margin, orif the AFR has not been stored, determining a second knock margin for the first combustion chamber. 2. The method of claim 1, comprising advancing, via the controller, a firing timing of a second combustion chamber until the combustion engine begins to knock to determine a second knock margin of the second combustion chamber. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein advancing firing timing of the first combustion chamber is different from the second combustion chamber. 4. The method of claim 1, comprising comparing the first knock margin to a previously stored knock margin and determining an operating parameter based on the difference between the first knock margin and the previously stored knock margin. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein determining the operating parameter comprises determining a wear factor for a component of the combustion engine. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the first knock margin of the first combustion chamber is based on severity of the knock signal. 7. A method, comprising: receiving, at a controller, a first signal indicative of a first change in an air-fuel ratio (AFR) for a fuel entering a first combustion chamber of a combustion engine;advancing, at the controller, firing timing of a first combustion chamber at a first advancing rate from an operating timing to a predetermined safe timing in response to the first change in the AFR;advancing, at the controller, firing timing of the first combustion chamber at a second advancing rate from the predetermined safe timing, wherein the second advancing rate is slower than the first advancing rate until the combustion engine begins to knock;receiving, at the controller, a first knock signal from a knock sensor indicating that the combustion engine has begun to knock;determining, at the controller, a first knock margin of the first combustion chamber based on when the combustion engine begins to knock;storing the first knock margin as associated with the knock timing and the AFR; andwhen the first knock signal is received, determining whether the AFR has been previously stored, and:if the AFR has been previously stored, operating under the previously stored AFR associated knock margin, orif the AFR has not been stored, determining a second knock margin for the first combustion chamber. 8. The method of claim 7, comprising receiving, at the controller, a second signal indicative of a second change in the AFR and determining a second knock margin for the first combustion chamber. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein if the AFR has been stored, asking for user feedback for whether to run at the stored AFR knock margin. 10. The method of claim 7, wherein if the AFR has been stored within the last week, operating at the stored AFR associated knock margin and if the AFR has been stored longer than a week, requesting user feedback as to whether to operate the combustion engine at the stored AFR associated knock margin. 11. The method of claim 7, comprising comparing the first knock margin to the previously stored knock margin and determining an operating parameter based on the difference between the first knock margin and the previously stored knock margin. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein determining the operating parameter comprises determining a wear factor for a component of the combustion engine. 13. The method of claim 7, wherein determining the first knock margin of the first combustion chamber is based on severity of the knock signal. 14. A system, comprising: a controller programmed to receive a signal indicative of a change in an air-fuel ratio (AFR) for a mixture of air and fuel entering a first combustion chamber of a combustion engine, to advance firing timing of the first combustion chamber in response to the change in the AFR until the combustion engine begins to knock, to receive, from a knock sensor, a knock signal indicating that the combustion engine has begun to knock, determine a knock margin of the first combustion chamber based on when the combustion engine begins to knock, and to store the knock margin as a relationship between knock timing and the AFR, and wherein the controller is programmed, when the knock signal is received, to determine whether the AFR has been previously stored, and if the AFR has been previously stored, to cause the combustion engine to operate under the previously stored AFR associated knock margin, or if the AFR has not been stored, to determine a second knock margin for the first combustion chamber. 15. The system of claim 14, comprising a crankshaft sensor configured to send a signal indicative of crank angle for determining accurate firing timing for the first combustion chamber. 16. The system of claim 14, wherein the controller is configured to store knock margins as associated with knock timing and the detected AFR. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein the controller is configured to store how long the stored knock margin has been stored.
