bad knock sensor?
car has been a little hesitant when i step on the gas and just feels slugish to me but i have no codes. im trying to find out if disconnecting the ks will turn on the check engine light or damge something. i was thinking of just disconnecting it because if its not working it shouldnt make a difference but if it is working then ill be able to tell wether it is working or not.

Well I thought that the ecu sees it's signal... So then it would probably run in safe mode unconnected. I say... if you are over 150k you should replace it since it's gotten so much attention from our model car. I purchased mine off of ebay for about 60-70. And yea, when i need to get on the gas, i can now. When the knock sensor is bad it feels like you are running a four cylinder civic.

i wanted to determine if it needs replacing. i know itll run in safe modeif its bad, but if its already running in safe mode now......there shouldnt be a difference if i disconnect it right?

yes, unless you are cali-spec, but i doubt you are becuase its rare
