the tag doesnt bother me, everything i posted was based on personal first hand experience.

i wish someone would get bored and go unplug their knock sensor harness at the intake and see how much power they lose, hell even log timing then unplug them and see if it changes. maybe it was just my truck but it didnt change, neither did power.

if the CKP sensor connector got water in it it would cause his problem but would probably fix itself after a few heat cycles dry it out so its possible we will never know what was wrong with it. cars are assholes sometimes.

Electrical gremlins can come and go, but there was obviously also a problem with the knock sensors. Guess it would be better to wish Andy best of luck and hope he has nipped this in the bud instead of guessing what was causing the power loss.
