Thread: How am I looking for a pulley drop? (HPT scan log included)

So the only way to undo it is to cut is out, re-weld the bung elsewhere and pop in a new sensor.

*sigh*

Pardon my ignorance though, but would somebody mind explaining to me how the o2 making contact with the floor pan contributes to engine knock? Not arguing the point, I just can't figure out. And there aren't any codes related to the sensor.

Thanks peeps.

The vibrations of the O2 hitting the floor are picked up by the knock sensor which means the engine pulls timing to get it to stop.
