Re: knock sensor

What's the fuel pressure while it's screwing up? What does the tach read while you're cranking it when it's screwing up?

Re: knock sensor

Check the three basics, fuel, air, and spark.

Re: knock sensor

So, it's at 43 psi WHILE IT'S SCREWING UP as opposed to when it's working right; and it "has spark" WHILE IT'S SCREWING UP as opposed to when it's working right; and these sparks are nice big fat snappy purple-white ones at least 1/16" in diameter, not little faint weak yellow-blue ones that are hardly bigger than a hair, WHILE IT'S SCREWING UP as opposed to when it's working right; and we know FOR SURE that #1 has spark AT THE SPARK PLUG when it's at #1 firing?

Did you do all these checks WHILE IT'S SCREWING UP as opposed to WHEN IT'S WORKING RIGHT?
