Default 2000 corvette knock sensor

Hello everyone i have always used this forum to replace and repair any issues i have had with my car but i cannot find anything that will work with my knock sensors. I have replaced the sensors themselves with Acdelco and also the harness (forgot where i got it). I tested them both before putting them in and they were ok. An additional test i did is i put them in their spot and lightly hit a hammer around the valley cover with a multimeter touching a grounding point and inside the sensor. Again read fine. I take the car for a spin to see if the codes come back and they do. I was entering the freeway aroud 70 mph and the engine light turned on. The nest day me and my father jacked up the car and tested the connection to the ecu. It read fine. I am so lost on this issue. Thank you for your time reading this.

It will help to list what codes you are getting. It sound like the sensors may be fine and there is an actual knock that needs to be fixed. I do know that it is very important to not over torque knock sensors.

When installing the sensors always use a torque wrench (11 ft-lb I believe) and then silicone the seal. I had better luck also replacing the wiring with a GM one than an aftermarket.
