who's had an issue with the knock sensor My car has been running smoothly but recently I feel that it is underpowered and today for some reason the check engine light came on and it came up with the "knock sensor code" from what they told me at the shop. are these related? does it need to be replaced right away?

My SS had a code one time for knock sensor, I had gotten gas recently prior to that...i went to Sunoco and filled the rest of the tank with 94 Octane and the light went out, I guess i had bad gas from Marathon.

ok so i replaced my knock sensors and i noticed that a part was snapped off on the back right of it and it was the oil pressure switch, i replaced it but in the well of where the knock sensor is there was a little bit of engine oil. is there a way to fix this? or is this normal?

I got a few codes on my car and a couple of them are "knock sensor circuit malfunction" and the car is running rich...also have some bad o2's..at WOT the car seems to have full power though
