So my car has not been running right leading me to think it had all sorts of issues. I had done almost all things involved in a tune-up and it still was not running right. This morning I had enough, I spent a few hours reading through the forums and i found my solution or so i thought. I went to the Dealer and bought a 40 dollar fuel filter and installed it (After getting Blasted in the face by the fuel line). It made a bit of a difference but not the kind i wanted. I still had a check engine light as well. I did more searching and found out that i could check the codes on my ECU by myself. I was under the impression that i needed a plug in unit. So checked the CEL and came up with Code 22. Knock Sensor. I Drove to the dealer again and shelled out the 90 dollars for the new Knock sensor. Installed the new one after laughing at the condition of the old one. PROBLEMS SOLVED!!!!!! The car finally runs right. It has never pulled this strong. I am so happy its stupid. I got lots of random looks as I was flipping out on the highway screaming out of pure joy. I almost shed a tear. Thanks to everyone that has worked through issues so you could help the rest of us. I STRONGLY recommend changing the Knock sensor if it has not been done since stock. One thing, should i reset my ECU now that i have no CEL? THANKS ALL!!!!!
