would no knock sensor cause ECU limp mode?
hey guys i havent connected my knock sensor wire yet and my car has a check engine light and seems to be a little low on power.
could not having my knock sensor wire hooked up cause my ecu to go into limp mode?

If you had the PFC, would you need an aftermarket Knock sensor like the J&S? Or does the PFC already retard the timing?
I've read that the stock knock sensor is only on the front rotor, and that you could add an aftermarket knock sensor on the rear rotor as well. Can you upgrade or add knock sensors and have the PFC monitor them?
