Retard Due to Knock and Rollover Counter for Retard Due to Knock values
Hi,
I have a Firebird with the 3.1 engine from 1990. For diagnostics I use Efilive V4 which shows me that the values of Retard Due to Knock and Rollover Counter for Retard Due to Knock don't change.
Is this because I use the 1990Z24.xml mask to diagnostic my car?
Is it normal that both values do not change?
Thanks.

It is good that they don't change. If they did change, then knock is being reported.

Thanks, RBob.
If this behavior is good, what could cause the fault code 43 which is stored in the ECM of my Firebird?

Knock sensor is bad or lost the connectivity between it and the ECM (connector/wire).

Puma your posts are pretty detailed but I skimmed over a lot of the content because I recently had a similar maybe the same problem with battery bolts. I got a new battery at Sam's club and let the tech there install it. But it took the guy better part of an hour to install it. Result a few days later I was stuck - well it wouldn't start outside my garage with brand new batt. Had a batt tester and found battery voltage OK buy charge/capacity just so-so. Gave one of the cables a tug and man it was a loose goose. Tried to tighten myself and bolt just kept going roundy roundy. Closer inspection found the bolt was not long enough for the new EverReady batt. Had to use makeshift bolt and washers combo to get a tight terminal. But ya know I found all the part stores sell longer batt bolts for some reason. Almost $10 for 2 bolts but that was the fix. Sam's tire and battery tech should have mentioned it and kind'a dissapointed with them.
Hope this can help.
