Now last night after idling the car.... i'm getting 20 some counts of knock at idle..... Sherlock, i think i'm onto something.

Anyone know what our max knock count on our cars SHOULD get to? I though i saw a rather high spike. But want to figure out first.

P.S. Sorry for double post, new info, new question.

Max on the 1Gs was 43, but you want to see 0.

How are you getting knock at idle? What's your base timing set at?

Good question, 91/92 3S's have adjustable CAS sesors like DSM's. 93+ are fixed like 2G's.

I don't think there is nearly enough load at idle to get real knock/detonation.

Knock sensor has a black "Goo" coming out of it, and with the car not running, key in ignition i get 0 counts of knock. After i start it, it runs around 20 unless i give it gas. Knock sensor seems to be bad, timing was fine last i checked, but unable to get logger to work atm.

The problem seems to be common after reading around on 3SI and the symptoms. Timing is the same as when i got it, and it idles like a champ(after re-setting the IAC).

450cc injectors were an option.... but i'm not 100% sure what i'm going to at this time.
