It could if the knock sensor is causing the computer to retard timing.

This.

Also one thing it could also help if you do some research if it doesn't help you, you can isolate the problem by replacing/cleaning some sensors.

O2 you could probably replace them if you're still rocking the old factory ones or they are just bad.

Like someone said, you can clean the MAF sensor.

You can check your plugs if they are fouled or cracked/wires if they are frayed or not fully seated on the plugs or coils.

How many of you guys don't run them? There was a guy at a local meet talking about how he's always deleted his knock sensors.
