A.you have no idea where this guy set the timing at
B. it might be avanced too far
C. it's easier to check the timing than pull the knock sensor
you need a timing light maybe 25 bucks
you attach the red line to the postive on the battery you attach the black line to the negative on the battery or a proper ground then you attach the clip onto spark plug #1 ...#1 is closest to the radiator
you are supposed to short out the ecu as if checking for codes
and you look at the main pulley with blinking light pointed at the main pulley (while the engine is running)
10 degrees off TDC is recommend spec .
other than that i guess you could replace the knock SENORS
i would exhaust all other options 1st
what is the exact error code you are getting
do you have a shop manual ? have you looked at the manuals online ?
