bump, I really want to figure this out..
The 34 has 2 knock sensors coming in/going out of the ECU, could it be that the other knock sensor might somehow respond differently? I really don't want to go pulling things apart again though unless its for sure that's what it is.
I just found this on another message board:
"I was wondering what other peoples knock readings were. WHile at idle, my knock reading goes anywhere from 2 to 16. When I give any throttle at all, the knock reading goes to 0 and stays there."
Reply: "I think at idle your picking up valvetrain noise and other noises.. Low idle you can hear rattles and other noises that you normally wouldn't associate with engine knock.
Even at low RPM its possible to pick up noise.. The truth is that knock sensitivity needs to be fairly numb at low RPM especially at idle, and progressively more sensitive at mid-upper RPM's where you'd typically produce the peaks of boost and up from there.."
Sound about right?
But why does everyone elses here not behave like mine & this guys..
