Hey guys, I am getting a code 43. I am also getting a 32 but that is because my EGR is blocked off and I have always gotten it. What are the usual things to check. Obviously the knock sensor, but is there anything else that can cause the 43? Would lots of detonation cause a 43? Pretty sure I don't have any that I can hear anyways, and plugs looks good, no specs. Sometimes the car seems to really lay down, and a lack of timming could be the cause, usually when the Check Engine light is on. When the car is warming up zero problems.

Thanks for any help.

Yeah, you need a new knock sensor.

Same thing happened to me.

When you get code 43, your car gets s.l.o.w. You're right, cause of the lack of timing. You lose a full 15* of timing if your knock sensor is fawked.

Ya sorry about that, but I did do search. I searched for code and 43 came up with nothing.

I hate noobs who ask the same question over and over without searching as much as the next guy :D
