the KR will do just that, it retards the timing when it senses knock. You want to tune it properly so that you get 0 KR when jumping on it. Usually minor adjustments to fuel and timing along with better gas gets rid of it. I've looked a bunch of tunes on the board and it never seemed to be major adjustments.

well you get knock ( pre-dentination) from being too lean. if you are, you need to richen it up. Theres also false knock, rattles, noisey valve train etc.. will cause the sensor to retard timing. if you have a 98, their knock sensors are known to be bad.
