The guy at autozone tested my car to see why the engine light was on. he said it showed the knock sensor. So I replaced it for $75. But the light has not gone off. I am not happy with this. Anyone have experience with this? Any reason why the light would not go off? Perhaps the wire is bad or something!? Thanks for tips. |

What octane fuel you running? You might try a higher octane rating if possible. . . . and yes, a bad wire is always a possibility. I'm sure there are more things to check on your rig. ~Brian "dnoyeB" <none (AT) none (DOT) net> wrote in message news:5dqdnR0Iea7ipqLbnZ2dnUVZ_vmqnZ2d (AT) comcast (DOT) com...

bullett and buy a code thingy today I suppose...
