Greetings AllStrobedUp,
Congrats on persevering with the troubleshooting and not giving up on the fix.
I was happy to see this thread pop back up with you sharing the solution instead of it just ending
last November with no update.
Re-reading the thread, though, I remember seeing your photo of the janky Knock Sensor, but there's
no mention of it's replacement afterwards? Did you get that swapped out as part of the recovery process,
or is the one in the photo still installed? A bad Knock Sensor can make a real difference in both driving and
gas mileage. (A lot of times when they go bad they become too sensitive, causing the computer to pull timing
when it shouldn't.) EDIT: If you still have the original KS in there, is it possible that it's reacting to some
extraneous engine/accessory noise & pulling timing at idle to where the idle is now slightly too low? (Stranger
things have happened.)
Again, thanks for coming back and sharing the wealth regarding what you found & what fixed it. This benefits
everyone.
@scott2093, now that's the way to make big deposits into your karma savings account!
Very, very cool to read about someone stepping up and doing the right thing. After
the steady stream of bad
actors humans in the news, it's so refreshing to read about someone
who leads by example on how to be an exceptional GMT400 forum neighbor.
Nice.
