Can You Eliminate Knock Sensors?
Can you bypass or tune out the knock sensors? I want to do away with the knock sensors because of so much vibration that the car puts out. I dont want the knock sensors to retard time because of all the vibration. Thanks George

The main thing is; don't spend thousands on the car and save $350 by skipping the wideband. Tune it with a wideband O2 sensor hooked into HPTuners and make sur the AFR is right and the timing is right and you'll be fine. The computer and fuel injection will let you get the tune better than you ever could old school.

That knock detector is the best friend that you have under the hood. It will keep the motor from detonating and destroying itself. All of that noise from the exhaust does not even register on that sensor, it is lookng for a specific high frequency knock. Use them to make that motor work to it's best, and not destruct if you get the tune wrong.

Thanks everyone, keep it coming, I'm learning more and more about this. Hope to be taken it to the tuner next week. Another ? I can't get rid of the PO200 code, will this retard timing. I've OHM out the wires to the injectors, put on the NOID lite, new injectors, put the injectors on their on fuse, put in different PCM and nothing will clear the code. Car runs like **** with this code. Any ideas.
