Yea, I asked him twice and he sounded like I was correcting him, which in a way i was, but.... When I stipped the wiring, I checked the strands for discoloration and whatnot. Everything looked good so I went ahead and spliced and soldered. So far to date, all is fine, but, if you could still post that number, that would be great, just in case I need it. Hell, my engine is taking a crap I think, so, I will be replacing it soon and maybe I will just install it when I am doing that just to be on the safe side. Thanks.

I have gone to advance and barrowed thier actron scanner. I ckecked the readiness codes and all was fine. Actually I checked EVERYTHING and all was fine except for "knock sensor 1 bank 1 voltage low". I reset the codes and the light goes out for a short while. If I reset it and start the car, it useually stays out for 15 minutes or so. I cleared the codes just before emission check but I am not even allowed to even try a test. I had the car fully warmed up but the machine says the following.........
not ready:
catalyst
evaporative system
sec air system
O2 sensor
H02 sensor
EGR system
Unsupported:
Heated Catalyst
A/C System
So, would a faulty bank one sensor do this or is there more underlying issues?

Yo Bro this is a stretch I'm dealing with this same issue on this present day. Do you call if the Knock Sensor fixed the issue.

It’s a massive stretch that the ghosts of this thread are going to answer you. I was replying to the newer comment about how fixing the knock sensor fixed the CEL. It’s in the thread. It was a fairly sarcastic comment too, and I’m not known for that.
If you want to just pass emissions disable any non emissions codes, aka, knock sensors, do the test, and fix that when you can. Knock sensors are pretty important, but you can’t do much (like go to work for parts money) without that sticker.
That’s what I would do to get it through the test. Luckily mine are all registered where it doesn’t matter, so it’s actually a wonder if I even have a cat installed on my vehicles.
