Default Any1 ever throw a knock sensor code after a poly trans mount install?

Well I dropped the trans 2 weeks ago to put a clutch in and while taking it out the original trans mount broke apart. Fast forward to a few days ago-I put a poly trans mount in. Now I keep setting a SES light for a knock sensor. Think this is a coincidence or is the trans mount the culprit?

For what's it's worth, something similar happened to me with my Jeep. I figured I'd swap in a new "stronger" mount while I had stuff trn apart. First fire up after the whole jeep was vibrating horribly. I couldn't even bring myself to drive it it was so bad. I swapped the OEM ount back in and presto, smooth ever.

the trans mount shouldnt affect the knock sensors at all. try resetting the pcm; knock sensor codes pop up frequently for no reason sometimes

I spoke too soon. At mile 27 is popped a SES light. I'll check it in the morning, but it looks like I have a bad knock sensor/

i'll throw the scanner on it tomorrow. The code popped up as I was pulling it into the garage. The car runs fine, but if it's throwing a knock sensor code, the computer is going to pull timing and what not if it's getting false readings. The car still has power, but I wouldn't doubt it that it's down on power.I might pull the intake in the morning and just replace the sensor before I go racing tomorrow night.

I just put a poly trans mount for my 4l60e about 5 weeks ago. Never threw a code or anything.
