[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 20204, member: 2"] Hey Manny! With my car throwing code P3027 still. I assume the wiring or knock sensor on the car is F'd. I reset the code and sometimes get away with it not throwing the code, but on 90% of the drives it does as soon as the engine starts getting to temperature. I also notice that it's down on power, it just doesn't have the go it used to. What is your recommendation? Is it as easy as removing the intake, taking the sensor out and replacing it with a new one? Can I drive the car in the meantime with the sensor out of whack? I assume I can as I am still using premium so it should not be suffering from a risk of knock. Plus with this code, I would expect the car to just retard the timing regardless if it senses knock or not to protect itself in case knocking could occur and it can't sense it (hence the feeling of it being low on power). I also want to know if I can drive it in this condition until I store it so I have time to save up for an intake over winter. Are there any intakes you would recommend? I was thinking of just moving up to a ZO6 intake as the car is mostly stock unless you have better ideas (and would you have any Z06 intakes on hand?). Maybe when I get an intake off of you, I'll finally spring for those frame protectors. Thanks Manny! Riley If anyone else has ideas on intakes, I'm all ears! [/QUOTE]
