Hey guys, ever since I got my car back together (this past Sunday the 7th), when driving it, I noticed a hesitation from time to time. It would just come out of nowhere, one minute id slam the gas and the car moves out!!! Then other I slam the gas and it falls on its face, still boosting the same psi as it was when it moved out. I also noticed this hesitation, when the car moved out and I approached 5k rpms. So I finally slapped the logger on, on the way to work this morning I was looking whats going on, low and behold, its knocking like a woodpecker when I reach that 5k rpm range! 43 counts of knock and I know that means that the knock sensor is being maxed out. I checked the o2 trims, and they are dead on at .83-.85v, the timing at this same rpm is around 21°. What is going on?!!! The hesitiation that comes out of nowhere didn't occur this morning for some reason but when it does Ill be checking the logger as well. The motor has 150 miles on it and so does everything else in it, the knock sensor has like 650 miles on it, there is a minor exhaust leak between the exhaust manifold and the turbo (which I should fix this weekend or next via replacing a good surfaced manifold). Could this be a case of an over-tightened knock sensor? I will check the sensor itself for goo, which I doubt will be present. Another thing, Im not sure if its my alternator whining or the cams, but would this contribute in a way? The knock is at 0 count until that 5 k rpm range! Help!
the car is running a 2g maf with a zero'd out afc1 if that helps. and 550 cc injectors & a 16g, walboro 255 rewired and afpr set at 43psi
