Will a PCV hose leak cause P0332 (knock sensor)?
I got a 01 Trans-am and the stock pcv hose assembly did what everyone's did and fell apart. around the same time it threw the code P0332 (knock sensor low voltage). i fixed the front part of the hose the code came back, so when i went to install new knock sensors and harness i noticed the same hose in the back just behind the intake was completely separated. Could this cause a P0332 to be thrown? I know the leak will slightly lower the oil pressure.

If you were getting knock I don't think you would get a low voltage KS code, you'd just have timing pulled. The KS code is thrown when the KS is malfunctioning, not when it's working correctly. Also, when a KS is malfunctioning you'll have a constant 4* of timing retard.
