N/A knock sensor same as turbo?

Post by ericem »

Hey guys. I still have a knock sensor code, but it's funny because when I drive at a steady pace the check engine lights goes out. Once you stop and idle, it's back on. I also noticed the car has significantly more power when the check engine light is off. I am thinking ill swap sensors from my n/a for now. I was also thinking I can just clean the original sensor and spray alot of wd40 in between the crack. Supposedly what creates the code is moisture right?

That knock sensor is correct, as long as that's the one they send you :)
