    Knock Sensor Faulty?

    Knock Sensor Faulty?

    FYI, I of course, will replace the fuel filter since that's a cheap fix. If that fixes it, great. If not, then I will disconnect the knock MODULE and see if that does it. If it does, then I will get a new ignition kit that replaces the ICM, knock module, and distributor altogether.
