Question Check Engine Light always on accept...

I just had a reman from Malloy's installed and the car runs great but ever since the installation the check engine light has been on. From the time I fire her up the whole entire time its on, but here is the funny part when I turn my steering wheel left or right the light blinks off then it turns back on depending on how I position my wheel. Is this a misconnection with wiring? or is this something I should worry about? My mods are listed on my sig, thanks guys!

I bet something came loose and is not getting grounded correctly.
Ive had my steering column grab my Oil Pressure wire out when it got wrapped around it.
Like the guys say, just flip the cap off the Diagnostics Box: connect TEN & GND together, turn the key to on, and count the lights. (Long = 10, Short = 1)
LONG LONG short = code 21
its easy. and will tell you exactly whats goin on.

Ok I just checked it and it gave me a consistant "5" blinks, 5 short blinks means 5. The result is I have a problem in the "knock sensor" what can I do to fix this?
