Well theres a good posibilty that your knock sensor is alive and working and you are actually getting detonation. Having an mr2t I know all about it. Can't you check the code and see what its saying?

So what should I do?????????????????????????????????????????????????

I don't think it's the knock sensor alone. Knock sensors usually don't cause very bad retardation of the timing (from my experience at least)... which would cause a car to limp. Usually, the car will slightly ping if there's a faulty knock sensor... but who knows what exactly. If you're getting knock sensor codes... replace the sensor, reset the ecu, and see if that'll fix anything.

When I was playing on the internet the other day someone said try putting the best gas in with a additive. So thats what I did. What I was told is there might be a improper mix of air and fuel causing this, and the sensor is fine. So I am going to run her today and see what happens. I am also going to take my intake off and check all the tubes to see if anything is clogged. I also just replaced my PVC and Im wondering if they gave me the wrong one?

If I need a new sensor, does anyone have a good place to buy them?????
