So I finally got around to installing my new knock sensor(vatozone gpsorenson mitsubishi one),changed the oil and fuel filters(oem mitsu filters)replaced the dummy light oil sensor flushed the coolant and changed the thermostat and coolant temperature sensor and a noisy alternator belt yesterday. The old knock sensor to say the least was toast, all the gooey stuff was gone. The new thermostat and coolant flush brought my temps to a more reasonable 180-190's when fully warmed up instead of the usual 209-213 degrees I use to see on the logger. Problem is after installing the new knock sensor I am seeing more knock now than ever mostly at idle and part throttle not even boosting wtf? I talked to Jeff and he said my chip has the PK code so I am not sure why its still doing this? I read Sleepingvr4 post and I seem to have similar issues. Whats weird is my converted factory dumb ass boost gauge knock sum doesn't show any knock unless I am really over boosting, could my logger just be showing pk knock values? the car seems to run fine and actually pulls real strong. I haven't done any new logs since making the new changes which I will do today and try and post later. Think I am going to try and find some race gas and retard the cas a bit to see if that helps also, wish me luck, I am at the end of my wits with this damn car. I want to get this thing running right before my planned rebuild and having the same issues. Thanks guys any help and or suggestion will be greatly appreciated and yes I did verify that my base timing is at 5 degrees per vfaq. I will do another boost leak test also and report back.I need to find another evoix maf the one I have looks like someone was playing around with the maf screw its mangled but my logger doesnt show any error codes stored or otherwise.
