This is on the evo8 base but with 2g timing tables.
I know I really need to get a map sensor logged but this was at 20-22psi

The timing and fuel sliders are zeroed as you can see by my rich wbo2 readings but can anyone give me any insight as to why i'm seeing knock?

Thanks so much in advance,
Frank

I'm also experiencing strange knock blips at cruise also, even in vacuum. Is this a sign of a dying knock sensor?

I have my stock boost gauge as a knock gauge and randomly at cruise sometimes it will shoot all the way up and you can obviously feel the timing pull. I'll get off the gas and it will drop then if I continue sometimes it will come back and some times it will disappear.

Any ideas?:confused:

Thanks alot,
Frank
