0327 knock sensor help
Hi guys, I have been having constant knock sensor codes come up. Anything I can test out to see if they might be going bad? I do not know if they are original or not, but I am assuming they are.
I have been getting this code on different tanks of gas from different places. Car feels like it pulls crazy timing and I have no torque at all.
Any suggestions? 2000 coupe. 113k miles.

are you running LT's?? what about cats?? if the timing is off then the computer is going to pull timing as well. so i would imagine that would be the reason for you torque loss/sluggish throttle response. get the car on a computer and see where its pulling from. you may to desensitize the sensors a little bit.

The car is pretty much stock, and most of the time the car feels fine.
The sluggishness is very sporadic, and after I noticed that is when I go pull codes. I get the 0327 coming up a lot over the last couple weeks.
After I clear the codes, the car feels strong again.

I have a laptop but dont have any cable/software for that... no tune shop within driving distance for me that im aware of anyway.
When it feels sluggish, its all over the rpm band, most notably though is down low in the rpm range and picks up a bit the higher it gets. It feels like what happens when traction control decides it wants to cut the fun.
again that feeling is not constant or predictable.

well you'll need the software in order to fix the problem. the safest way is on the dyno since you don't have to keep looking over at the readings. i would assume its probably a timing issue at WOT. while its not going to hurt driving it like that, it is a pain in the neck to deal with. i guess my opinion would be to either slightly reduce the sensitivity of the sensor and or get the software.

You haven't washed the engine/engine compartment have you? If you do, water can get in under the intake and get the knock sensors wet.
I have a 2000 with 117,000 miles and about two months ago mine started doing that too. I changed the spark plugs and all is well, no codes.
