Yesterday I changed my intake manifold gaskets. While removing the wiring loom I broke the plug on the knock sensor (It still plugs in just loosely).
Started it this morning and went for a drive. It all seemed fine until I got to about 3500rpm. It feels like the fuel is been restricted or the timing is not been advanced properly. Did some googling and figured it might be the knock sensor.
I went for a couple of quick drives trying to jam the plug in more with no success. Then I decided to unplug it totally and give it a crack. Worked perfectly!
Now I'm not sure how this works cause I really know stuff all about them so if anyone has an any ideas I'm all ears...
On a side note. I have a Memcal from Ace. Is it possible the tune he sent has the knock sensor disabled? But then it shouldn't effect it at all if it's broken or not... Anyway just thinking out loud.
