Re: HELP! - Problem - Fuel Economy/Fuel System

Thanks Evergreen.

So what does that knock sensor do exactly? Am I understanding it correctly in my original post?

And what if it is just the fuel filter? This may be an extremely stupid question, but is the knock sensor so important to my engine that it's worth dropping $500 to fix it if the problem I'm having could just be fixed by replacing the fuel filter?

it could also be something as simple as a clogged fuel filter. if you're getting error codes on the sensor its probably wise to replace it. the fuel filter replacement is cheap and easy too.

please post the info you find on the knock sensor and if it does solve your problem.
