    well after much head scratching myself and for you guys i found out what it really was. i went to bending auto tune as i said i was and the car didnt need a new fuel pump or tuning the engine itself is completely 100% it was the knocker sensor anddd i know how much it cost to get them put in from a mechanic its crazy but im going to do it myself the easy way with a few washers and m10 rod

    thanks guys for your help

    you could always bypass it with a resistor if you know your engine isn't knocking, check the tech section.

    i think he thinks a knock sensor checks to see if the engine gets knocked around, like bumped/moved..

    mate a knock sensor detects detonation/pinging in the combustion chamber.

    i suggest you do some reading via google on 'knock sensor' and 'detonation'

    it has NOTHING to do with pot holes or the car being knocked around.
