Banned. I got OWNED!!!
All I know is that I've had cars exhibit limp-mode symptoms and the only code present was for the knock sensor. It's happened twice that I recall. And both times, repairing the knock sensor and resetting the ecu cleared the limp mode and the code. Limp mode symptoms include unwillingness to run smoothly as vacuum approaches 0 from -4inhg, and absolutely horrible bucking and sputtering if you try to hammer on the throttle at any point, but as long as you stay at or below -4inhg of vacuum the car runs like a dream.

I've always unplugged the stock knock sensors and never had a problem, period.

If you're talking about FD's, you might want to go ask in the FD section.
