Well I FINALLY got ahold of a friggin scanner, and heres what I came up with...

On multiple WOT runs, I recorded the following:
-Knock Retard: Max was 16*
-Knock Detected: Yes
-BLM's were ranging from 128-132
-o2 Mv 795-800 up top, didnt drop off
-Full throttle indications were Rich
-Last, throughout the tests, the Spark Advance ramained at 39*, at any throttle. This I found pretty wierd.

Also, after the last run, the scanner froze up. I disconnected it and reconnected it, and would continue to freez up. I got one error stating invalid code or something like that. Other than that, everything else seemed fine.

So what can you tell is goin on here from those numbers?

 

What octane fule are you running? What is your base timing set at? That 16 deg of knock retard has got to be killing your times.

ALWAYS 93 octane, base timing @ 8*.

 

That is wayyyyyyyyy to much knock.

Also I've had the same issue with scan tools, seems once it happens once the ECM doesnt' want to play nice untill you restart the car

 

The problem is that I dont know whats causing the knock. Im gonna bypass the sensor today, but I still have the problem of 39* of spark advance; weather its at idle, or WOT, theres no change in the spark advance.
