Default Code 43 on a 94LT1

Replaced RH knock sensor.....no chg in driveability. Still bucking except under accelleration. CEL will come one and extinguishes. Taking a look @ the Opti Spark. Got an MSD in the box. Any suggestions????

You need to take a close look at the wiring and connectors at the sensor and at the opti, ICM, and coil. If it does this at idle it would make it easy for a wiggle test. just start shaking wires and looms until you can recreate the issue.

Be sure you run through this as well. Codes identify a trouble circuit, not a trouble component.

Keep us updated!

Don't forget there are 2 KS to check. I am having this issue on cold mornings and goes away after a few minutes when it warms up.

Don't forget there is a specified torque on knock sensors. DO NOT put any kind of sealer or tape around them either. I can get you the torque spec. if you need it.
