30 Knock count

[805eclipse]

when i first start my car i get 0 knock and as i start driving it it starts to hit like 1-5 knock for awhile and then the longer i drive it the more knock i get ive gotten up to like a solid 60.. does that usually happen more knock the longer u drive?? also if it were knocking like 30 counts would u hear or feel a difference in the car cuz i dont really?

According to your mod list your car is totally stock, knock can be caused by a few things:

Are you using premium gas? 91-92-93?
Check your Base timing to be in the right position.
Usually (and judging by the age of your car) I would think that the lifters are giving you that knock, but you say you dont hear anything... double check on that... are you sure you dont have lifter ticking? if you think you have some try switching to a better motor oil...

See what you can find out and let us know.

ok i was judging this off of the safc2 knock sensor but my friend has told me that isnt accurate and goes off of engine temp which would explain why it slowly goes up so i guess im ok thanks

The knock sensor functionality of the safc2 does NOT work with our cars. Don't trust it. You would be much better off disconnecting that wire, so that you don't change the voltage of the actual signal that should make it to the ecu.

You are a 1g OBDI car. You have the ability to get a pocketlogger palm logger and see true ecu knock count. I would highly recommend doing that.

I use the SAFC2 for knock counts monitor too. In the night I will have 0 knock, but in the mid of the day, i will have 18-20 counts at IDLE. Which post did you find out from that the knock monitor on SAFC2 is base on temp and is not accurate? However, I do feel the timing is pulled though.

A datalogger should be the the device you should to detect and measure knock
