Code 43, knock sensor? Was wondering the symptoms of a bad ks. I had a code 43 randomly pop up and I checked voltage at the wire. Got 4.95v. Disconnected the battery and have not seen it again. My car has a horrible miss, that neither my tuner or I can diagnose...every single ignition component has been swapped for a known working one. As well as the ecm, New injectors too.

I'm familiar where it is, and the fact the code popped and then never saw it again was odd. The car runs like crap. It's running like it has a misfire however there is nothing left in the ignition components that has nit been checked/swapped. My tuner did notice that while the car was running if he shook the wires around the Oxn/coil area the car stumbled and the tach went erratic.

Unfortunately I personally have not, with working out of town every week I've put a lot of faith in the tuner to work on it when he gets time in between other cars.
