Electronic Spark Advance - that's a pretty fancy name for an ECU. Fixed timing signals are provided by the CAS, the distributor-like thingy you adjust timing with. The ECU then uses inputs like the boost sensor, the TPS, rpm from the trailing coil, the AFM etc. to determine advance. In your case, I would bet money that you have a bad TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). Check that out first, it is the best fit for your symptoms. Good luck!

PS - the Knock Sensor is located on a panel on the passenger side of the car above the ECU. If it goes bad, it will send a continuous knock signal, which the ECU will respond to by retarding a number of degrees.
