After my "g" swap I had a random Knock sensor code. If you dont have the updated part, now would be a good time to do it.
After I replaced the sensor the code went away.

Those Lifters can be noisy espesially at first. If they are noisy enough it can cuase the ecu to pull timing. Im not sure if it would cause the cel though.

done as done. knock on wood. CEL went off when i put the new knock sensor in. Its keeping temp. i also cleaned up the engine bay and took off all the electrical tape that i had in various areas. and i also cleaned up my intake so i dont have that nasty hose with the bolt in it. haha
all i have to do now is fabricate a plate for the intercooler or find a good way to bolt it up so its not hangn

heres a pic of my old knock
