for quite some time i've been having trouble with my knock sensor. it keeps throwing a code even after i have replaced the sensor,rebuilt the motor, and redid my wiring( thanks tweak). we just rechecked the timing and its set at 10degreesTDC. i cant possibly think of anything else that could be causing a problem. could a bad ecu cause this to happen? if it was bad wouldn't the car not run at all? i've tried searching but all people ever say is to replace the sensor.... i'm really needing some more ideas on what else i need to check. Thank you.

You can buy a wideband. They cost around 250bucks, but it wont do you much good if you don't know how to interpret its readings.
You should be able to get your car dynoed for about 60 bucks. Start out with low boost, and work your way up. This would tell you why you keep blowing knock sensors, but keep in mind that you will have to fix/replace your current sensor ( or whatever the issue is right now) before you do any of those things. Its expensive, I know. Part of the reason why a turbo car is not the greatest thing to own when your young and broke. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
