I used an OBD II to delete the codes I just gave a number and a delete option. So I really cant tell you if it was low input or not.

And also Im in Conroe TX, sorry I left that out.

Why not just fix the knock sensor issue and be done with codes? It's not expensive, nor difficult. And having functional knock sensors would be a good thing...

Guess I left some more info. out. Sorry guys, the car has some upgrades cam being one of them, I really think this is what is sending the bad code. I tried to replace it when i first got the code, but after about 10 miles or so it came right back on. that was almost a year ago, i havent tried again since. I guess I'll try that again tomarrow.

When you put the intake back on (guessing you took it off), I bet you pinched the knock sensor cable that hooks into the harness. It goes under the intake through a channel to the knock sensors, and it's easy to pinch if you don't pay particular attention to it. A new cable is cheap, and will fix it if that's the problem. Go to Autozone and have them read the codes. If it's low input on bank 1 and 2, that's your problem.

On mine (2000), the o-ring on the valley cover for the knock sensor went bad and leaked oil onto one of the knock sensors. Just another thing to check.
