my 1996 awd swapped eclipse is being nothing but a nightmare. When I first got it on the road after doin the awd swap, the transmission was slipping like crazy anytime i went wot. No knock, hit max boost perfect, except it would slip crazily. A few weeks ago, i started having issues with my knock sensor. I kept getting a knock sensor malfunction check engine code, and it was pulling 12 degrees of timing at low throttle all the way to wot, and i figured it was because i hotwired the knock sensor due to a broken plug on the harness. I swapped knock sensors, got a new plug for the harness side and wired it in. Long story short, nothing changed. It was an old sensor i had laying around so i went and bought a brand new knock sensor, and im still having issues. Last night i installed a shift kit, and it fixed my slipping and flaring issues, and i cant enjoy the car because its pulling timing every chance it gets.

My mod list is up to date, the knock sensor is brand new, mechanical timing is spot on i checked it after the shift kit install, ignition timing is 5* btdc, spark plugs gapped at .26.

i will attatch points from a single log i did today driving.
