Knock Sensor
Ok so while I was doing some stuff I broke the wire on the knock sensor connector too close to put it back together, so I cut the other half of the connector off and hooked the loose wires together. Now my check engine light comes on once in a while, usually after driving a bit, throwing the knock sensor code. It goes away if I stop the car and start it, but the code is still in the ecu. So I've cleared the code and it comes back. I just can't seem to get it to go away, no matter how many different ways I reconnect the wire. Is there any other possibiliy that would cause the check light to come on other than a bad connection?
Also, the ECU fail safe method for knock sensor is retarding the timing 2 degrees. Does it run this way until I clear the code, or is it only doing it while the check engine light is on?

I have reattached the wire 100 times. I've used various crimps and connectors. Nothing seems to do the trick. So I want to believe it is something other than the lack of connection that is causing it.

Just tested it and I have continuity between the knock sensor and the 2M pin on the ECU, and I'm still getting the code. Does this mean I need to replace the knock sensor?
Would the ECU throw a code even if it were knocking?
