just changed knock sensor...
car seems to be back to normal. 
http://www.motorvate.ca was not joking when he typed this line:
I though it was a joke when I first read it, but I ended up lubricating the intake manifold with my own blood so I could get my hand in there.

This will prevent it slipping out of your bleeding hands, and fall to a spot that you can not reach.

yeah, my hands are way too big to fit under the manifold... i had to hire a helper monkey to get his hands in there... and the labor was cheap... he worked for beer. but the difference in my cars performance was night and day. i hope to go back to the dyno soon to get some better #'s.

Yup, the KS can make your engine run way worse when it starts detecting pings and stuff. Did you get a code? What happened that you need to change it?

It was all worth it though.

How much was the KNOCK SENSOR and did you purchase it from the dealer?

At http://drivewire.com, it is $110.5. Considering to change mine too since I got the code and idle is not good.
