New car! Misfire == Knock? You'll see it in my sig, but here's a nicer pic.
The previous owner threw every bolt-on item he could think of at this car except for a real transmission. He said the stock unit held on for around 10,000 miles before it gave up.
I just got a new trans put in with lots of expensive parts inside. That's working fine. I'm still fighting code 43 though... When I changed the oil the other day, I noticed some light coming from deep in the engine compartment. I looked closer to find that one of the plug wires was resting against the header and shorting out.
I have the new wires and some iridium NGK plugs on the way. I'm just wondering if anyone has seen misfire set off the knock sensor. Anyone?

I'm always interested in parts for the right price... You can see from my other car just how much I like those five-star wheels. So what's the price?
On Iridium plugs -- I was suckered into a package deal from Ebay. Plugs with wires came to $100. I'll let you know how that works out. Assuming that it fixes my knock issue, I'll be a very biased judge. The car has been pushing code 43 since I got it. I'm expecting a slight performance improvement...
