i just replaced my Knock Sensor and cleaned my Throttle Body. OMG! what a worlds difference! THE MAX LIVES!!

 

muahahahahaha congrats on regaining the power u lost

 

congrats, did u replace it becuase you got the code or you just sensed a loss in power?

 

sensed the loss and then checked the ECU and found knock sensor code.

BUT now that i got back the power im almost scared to put on my y-pipe i have in my trunck but at the same time i cant WAIT!

 

btw just wanna let you know that your relocation spot #1 has been working great for me. i've been gettint 380mi-400mi with 50% hwy driving, 50% local driving. and it's not even a full tank, it's usually between 16-17 gallon. car pulled a lot harder. i am very satisfy with the result

 

glad its workin out for you bro

 

wow.i wish i was getting 380-400..im getting like 350 .. 70% highway.. 30% streets..i thinki may have overtighened my ks.. i didnt feel much of a difference when i did it..damn.another weekend project.

 

Yeah, Replacing the knock sensor makes a big differece. I went to the stealership to get one and they wanted $180.00 the guy at their parts department told me the sell quite a few of them. then I went talked to the machanics at the same stealership and they contradicted saying they rarely replaced them, he stated that if i was getting code 0304 that could mean something else is wrong. Well to make story short. I ended up getting it from e-bay (much cheaper) and installing it my self saved me a few$$. bottomline If you feel loss of power specially at low RPMS and you are gettin code 0304 replace you KS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i hope to do mine this weekend. now that i have it here to put in its driving me crazy and just want to get it in.

i really notice the lack of power when cruising say on the highway and you start to head up a good incline. i have to hit the gas hard enough to get the auto to downshift just to maintain speed when deep down i know this engine should be able to handle it without downshifting.

we'll see. i'm knew to the car and bought it in this condition (has the KS code) so i'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised!
