What does your idle do when it's making noise? Is it remaining constant?
Hm, I thought the knock sensor was placed higher on the block and closer to the cylinders on the passenger side so as to lessen the chance of outside vibrations tripping it. Doesn't it go off vibrations? or is it noise? Yes, the idle stays constant.
