Code 43 is a knock sensor problem. Either the wire has come off the knock sensor on the bottom passenger side, or the knock sensor has failed somehow.

I had this issue before and my motor went bad not too far in the future, make sure it is the sensor and you aren't getting any rod knock. I would also check your compression as well.

Since you are going to get a bunch of coolant out of the Knock Sensor hole, you might as well do a coolant flush as well.

Good luck!
