The hard start may be do to a leaking CPI and/or nut kit.,..Pull your upper plenum and check for washing. Also run a pressure test on your fuel system. Clamp off the return line. If it doesn't hold pressure your fuel pump could be dying out. Your pressure should be at 56-60 to start.
For the knock sensor you need to replace it.
You have 2, 1 on the driver's side of the block. Between and below the 3 and 5 plugs. And you will have another 1 on the back of the passenger side head against the firewall.
