knock sensor
Open question to the forum. I have a J&S knock sensor on my car and it is s/c....my question is do I need it. It is causing problems with ignition and misfires....I know the car has a factory sensor that controls the cylinders so do I need it????
As you know I'm probably the only one that posts about the SC like you. And from what I'm going through, I don't think you need that. IMO, I think all we need is the meth kit. The stock ECU is very smart, so I don't think we need anything but good gas and methanol

what else do you have done to the engine other than the s/c and the meth??? I don't feel like having my engine explode with a bad detination......
if is the meth just a shot when it you want really cool intake air or is it running all the time?

Yeah I noticed. I'm sure since you have that knock sensor off now, the car is going to run a little differently for a few days. I know on my car it took a week or so then it learned a new fuel curve. It was funny cause at first it felt almost stock haha
