If the knock sensor is working it will retard the timing momentarily (you will notice the strobe light go wonky) until it adjusts. BTW, I noticed in your profile that you are running a supercharger. Are you experiencing 'pinking' (pre detonation) in the higher rev range? If so, you may need to adjust to a higher octane fuel, and some sort of cooling for your intake air such as water injection or intercooling if you want your engine to last. Hope this will help.   Anatoly Vasiljev (Gaiver) New Member Username: Gaiver Post Number: 6 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Sunday, May 04, 2003 - 11:45 pm:    thanks for ideas!!!
