I have a 95 Talon TSi with the 1G CAS swap.

I had done the Pot Mod a couple weeks after the CAS install. Which took care of the misfiring problem. I did the Pot Mod 4 months ago.

In the last few days, I have had the same misfire. Could my Potentiometer of went bad?

It came undone from the wires last week. So I wired back up and all was fine till a few days ago.

I did not solder it either time as I do not have a solder. I checked the wiring and everything multiple times.

Last night at the track, I had my friend check my codes wth a code reader. It was right before I did a pass so we never wrote down the code. It said "Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction" and something about no TDC signal? .

Since the misfire, I have been able to feel timing being pulled quite a bit.

I don't have a MBC yet, but normally full boost is 10psi on my T25. Since this, it is anywhere between 5 and 7 psi. It's different every pull.

I also have no BCS, so I am running off the WG.

Thoughts?
