Hey guys my car died the other day on the highway just cruising at around 70mph. It lost engine power and and as soon as I pulled over I was unable to start the car again. The exhaust overheat light came on which I now know is the same as a check engine light. I towed it home and jumped the pins to reveal a code 21 ignition circuit. After replacing a blown electronic parts fuse I tried to start again with no luck. I jumped the pins again and now I'm getting fault code 34 engine knock sensor as well as code 21. I just ordered coil packs and figured that was the problem but just realized that 1 bad coil pack and the car would still start am I correct? Now I'm worried because of the knock sensor code. I couldn't find much info on the code 34. Does this mean the sensor is bad or detecting an actual engine knock? The car has new ignitor and new coil pack harness. I'm hoping new coil packs will remedy my problem but I'm now thinking it may be worse than that. I'm going to spin the CAS now to see if the injectors are clicking to make sure it's not the problem. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Wouldn't think knock sensor would stop you starting. Maybe try to figure out what made your fuse blow (has it blown again?).
Since I tried to start it it has not blown but I think I hit a bump in the road and then it happened I dont think the fuse is even related honestly because I think it was the fuse for my dash clock because after I replaced the fuse it was working again. Do you know if the knock sensor is bad or if that means the ecu is detecting engine knock. I'm just trying to rule out engine failure at this point because I'm a worrier. After removing the coils I see 2 of the leads are very loose and wobbling around. I hope maybe it's just coil packs. They are the original ones so I knew they would cause problems eventually. Let me know if you know about the code 34 if that means actuall knock or just a bad sensor.

      Squeaky bushes

      Just install a grease nipple into the centre of the outer steel of the FUCA. Make sure the bushes aren't long enough to touch each other underneath that nipple. Cut a few mm off each if need be. Then you can push grease in there while it is all assembled. That was the very first thing I did (to all 4 ends) of the FUCAs on my 32 when I put Whiteline adjustable bushes into them. They would squeeze the grease out real fast, and I could squeeze it back in faster.

      @GTSBoy I found the issue (sort of) when I took apart the bushing again, it was completely dry inside! When I experimented with it, all the grease would push out when I would compress the bushings. I wonder if this has anything to do with me putting in the poly bush first on both sides and then pushing in the metal barrel. Maybe I should have put in the metal barrel first then the rubber bushings so the spread pattern is different.   It's fixed (for now).

      Can't put strut back

      Just redid that entire job. 4 hours, but tightened everything properly. Had to jack the rotor instead of having the car on blocks as there was no room for the FUCA arms to tighten and the j arm. All good now. Cheers for the help!

      I would sell those side feeds before you hydra-lock a motor. I won't say too much about Yellow Jackets because I'll hurt people's feelings, however ask those that tune RBs day in/out what they think of them.

      The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄
