Crazy High Knock Readings My knock sensor registers 2000 - 4000 knocks pretty much right on startup and then the data freezes. My scanning software says the PCM isn't adding any knock retard so I guess this is ok???
What is going on.
My car has long tubes and poly motor mounts so there is definitely way more shaking than stock.
Is my sensor bad or do I just need a tune to accommodate the mods?

mine did the same thing with long tubes, poly mounts, and roller rockers. I set the tune to not pull timing lol. Fixed

Ok yeah that is what Im seeing glad to hear it. By freezes I mean that once the car is running the knock count does't change. I dont have a knocking (detonation) problem so I guess everything is fine, I just wanted to be sure it is normal to have loads of knock right when it first fires up and then nothing after that.
