Don't know for sure how it will act, but the computer will pull a bunch of timing out....you'd maybe hear it pinging or something (almost like a chatter noise)

What's the code exactly?

I just had to replace mine, it ended up being the grommets on the valley cover that went out and leaked oil onto the knock sensor causing the code. My car was running sluggishly and I noticed a significant difference in how it ran after replacing them. Once you go through all of the trouble of pulling the intake manifold, I would go ahead and replace all of the seals on the valley cover and intake manifold, so that will save you the trouble of having to take it all apart again.
