Re: knock retard

Could be real retard, and some race gas might help you troubleshoot that, or you might have false knock from your exhaust banging or worn out engine mounts or some other mechanical noise. Your knock sensor might be bad if it is original equipment - they don't last forever. You're probably going to get a little on WOT shifts anyway, but that's supposed to happen. You could desensitize it if you wanted to.

Re: knock retard

no. it was desensitized as much as it could be without completely making it useless
