Hi again...

How much timing does the knock sensor pull out of the car if it senses something? Sometimes my car feels like it is having a little bit pulled out of it for something, (pulls hard for about the first 1/2 second I mash it, then it feels like it loses maybe 5% (?) of it's power, then sometimes it's OK. (most of the time) I just replaced the plugs/wires/VC gaskets/plug well seals and sprayed all of my contacts with contact cleaner (and the MAF) and cleaned my grounds last week, so I'm pretty sure it's either sensor related, numb seat of pants related, or maybe just 108,000 mile SHO related. Thoughts?

Do I have to pull the Intake off to replace the knock sensor? I believe it's under the fuel rail- or am I mistaken?

The only thing I know I have to replace is my "easy" O2 sensor, and there are no other codes. I checked them last night. Maybe it's just me. I just got the car, and ever since I had it, it ran like crap until I replaced the plugs/wires/plug well seals so maybe I'm just thinking it should have more than it does.

I don't honestly remember how my '92 MTX felt, it was about 6 years ago, and I had a '93 ATX for about a month a couple of years ago in between, and I've been driving my Mustang drag car for the last two, and I think maybe my SHO is suffering from my expectations more than anything that is it's fault...

Thanx again!
