im throwing a knock sensor code and im thinking it could be timing is what iv came up with through research but i dunno it is off till i hit around 3k so i dunno any suggestions would help.

Thank you

Oh ya and for everyone that was in the craigslist thread im sorry i came off like a douchbag i never ment to. and the reason i dont feel sorry is iv done the same thing and i know it suck.

Then check the ignition timing. If that's fine, check compression. If the compression is excessively high, try running a higher octane. If it is high, and it hasn't been built to be that way, you have other problems that higher octane fuel wouldn't really fix, but it might help the symptom.

One suggestion, please read and edit your posts before submitting. I could barely make any sense of the above description.

what year model u got....that would be helpful info.... 3vze, 22re, 3.4l ???

Exactly which code...as in the #..... is it code 52?

I just have one thing to say....

martyMcfly88

92 22re and im not sure of the exact code whqt is code 52?

knock sensor. Looks like karme is giving ya a kick in the rear!

martyMcfly88

Im not to sure about KARMA seeing as i already knew it was throwing the code im just trying to get it all figured out. but anyways could it be carbon build up on the pistons?
Maybe just need a new sensor?

Carbon build up on pistons would not have anything to do with the knock sensor or every car in the world would have that issue. Generaly with the knock sensor code the knock sensor is bad. Check the wires. And generaly when it goes bad the timing is retarded a bit causing performance issues and low power.

Karma schmarma. This is not a reward/punishment universe despite what religion teaches. But, it is based on law of attraction. LOA isn't partial, but it's fair and matches you up everytime with where you're at.

My suggestion? Run a search on knock sensor. Lots and lots and lots of posts about it already. Also, might get clear on taking advantage of gullible people.....though he did attract it. There are no victims. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

knock sensor. my truck did the same thing till i replaced mine.

lol yeah i know im just giving him a hard time for the trade he made.
And im not religious if thats what you were saying

No sir.....wudn't sayin' that at'all. But, religous or not, we're still in a society where reward/punishment is a common mindset. The term/idea of karma just seems to bleed over into everything, so I figured I'd nip it in the bud. Try to offset the insanely flawed premise....if you know what I mean.

BTW, it's our cosmic duty to give each other a hard time.....

If you don't know what code it is, how do you know it's for the knock sensor?

Team420

Well, you need to find the code to get any help here.... its hard enough to diagnose from a distance as is, impossible without knowing what the problems are......

So heres a link to the fsm, pay very close attention to the diagnostics/troubleshooting section, pull your code(s) and get back to us with some real info, and we'll go from there.
