Where can I get a can of this SeaFoam stuff?? Also, I have noticed that when my car is cold or barely warm, like after it has been sitting for the knocking problem doesn't occur. Its only once the temp is up past 160*. Why would it all the sudden start knocking once the car got warm?? Could the problem be with a cooling system??

Most auto parts stores will carry Seafoam.

Maybe the knocking is caused by the carbon buildup raising the compression and when it gets hot, the engine is more likely to knock than when it is cold. I think that knocking also generates a lot of heat, I might be wrong but fix the knock sensor problem first and let us know what is going on.
