uhh... i got 25 and 55... any help with that...i was told that 55 are the knock sensors.. i have no idea where the "knock sensors" are... also told that 25 means that i am running lean..... i changed the timing belt when i had the jdm engine out of the car... everything lined up but when i turned the entire engine around, the lines on the cams and the bottom line all lined up .... but every revolution, the line on the belt moved over 1 tooth... but everything else was lined up perfectly...???.... and i think the distributor might be a little off.. but would that make the engine light come on... and also the injectors make a lot of ticking ... maybe clogged...?????

"wipes sweat from forehead".... thank goodness... thought i might have done something bad with the timing... even though it runs good... uhh... what should i do if its "running lean"....... im thinking that if the engine light doesnt go out then i will just take out the bulb... im not spending $160 on a knock sensor... so... if i dont fix the problems will it damage my engine in the long run or will it just decrease the performance of my engine?... too much work to change a sensor and make a light go out... if u know what i mean...and also.. i think one of my valves is sticking or something because its ticking a lot when it warms up... would this have anything to do with the timing/knock sensors/lean issue.... i put lucas engine stuff in the oil when i changed it and it made a little difference.... i think the next step is to sea foam it.... maybe clear everything out... and also is it a myth that if you use octane boosters and 91 octane gas that it will send the o2 sensors off creating a engine light problem ????
thanks for the help guys.. i know these questions are a little newbie of me... just trying to narrow down the possibilities..
