About Knock Help Please

[RPR33]

Hey guys I was having some problems with my car pinging it turned out that the crank angle sensor was not in the right position(dam mechanic). I moved it clockwise a few weeks ago(retard) and the pining has stoped so far. how ever the car just wasn't running the same, so today I turned it back slightly still not where it was when it was pingping but just a few mil back. now on my safc I'm getting a knock reading of 60-80 while the car is at idle. I went for a drive and put the foot down a little and couldn't hear any ping and the knock level slowly droped thru the rev range down to about 0-10. should I be concerned about this high number at idle? or should I just reset the knock value as the timming has been changed? when I went in to sensor check idle knock was at 320-330? is that high?

Cheers

you sure something isnt loose or something setting the sensor off by rattling?

or

could be a stuffed sensor

60 isnt audible really, especially if you have a loud exhaust

Have you checked the timing or just set the CAS by feel? If it's the latter then you should invest in a timing light to make sure it's at 15deg btdc, they're pretty cheap after all.

yes true I got in the car about an hour ago and knock was 0 after a while it was on 5 at ilde. so got me stuffed!!!

5 at idle is fine; mine's on about 4 and goes up to about 7-9 when i give it a bit of a rev.

Was your first post clear? cos you said 60-80 then 320-330; somethings not right there.

When you start your car from cold does it register a high knock?? cos mine knocks to 93-95 while cranking and thats even when ive disconnected the coil-packs.

like nismoid said; may be something in the engine bay or a stuffed sensor even the starter motor.

in monitoring mode it was at 60-80. in set up mode in sensor check it was showing 320-330. but as I said went for a drive later on and it was fine.
