Knock sensor is bad... or not?

Knock sensor is bad... or not?
ever since i was at the track a couple weeks ago, my cel went off - i assumed it was because I was switching ecu's there and stuff (5spd -> auto -> 5spd)... anyway, i finally got around to diagnosing it a week or so ago... and got the "park neutral switch problem" (I guess I bumped those wires and they disconnected for a split second?) and a serious one - "Knock sensor" or whatever...
so I reset it and figured I'd buy a new knock sensor (hoping it is the reason i am running slower times then I do wish (dont ask))...
buuuut, I diagnosed the ecu again today (no light) just to see if it had picked up knock sensor again, and got 05-05 "no problems recorded"......
soo, do you think it just did something wrong once, or i need a new knock sensor? I am obviously going to check it again in a week or so, and I dont hear any knocking although I dont know what it would sound like - unless its a loud knock... but i am tempted to replace it just to see if it is my problem at the track (just replaced spark plugs and fuel filter today...)
THANKS for any help in advance!!
