checked the codes and it said knock sensor cleared it and it came back so pretty sure thats what it is but is there any way to check it and be sure?
You can install a bypass resistor, check my CDomain site page9, link below. Been driving without KS for 7yrs now... still one has to know the issues; 'blondies' can ruin the engine withour KS.

I guess its more likely bad MAF or TPS. MAF is easy swap, find one from JY. Note that such a MAF can also be defective... For TPS there is various ways to verify; check my site page6 how it goes in -93 VGE engine to get the idea for the 96 model.
