Just got done installing a Fel Pro HG. While the head was off I did the KS rewire with RG58 multi strand, double shielded coax cable. Everything went fine except for a huge oil leak (torn cam seal). The only time I get a "check engine light" is when I hit fuel cut. This is the first time I've driven the car in probably four years with no light on all the time.
My question is when the KS's detect knock the ECU retards timing correct? Does anything else happen as far as the ECU (more/less fuel etc). Can you feel the ECU correct for knock?
Whats happening with my car is when I'm cruising at just about any RPM from 1000 up to red-line, in any gear, when I go WOT I accelerate for a second then its like NOS is injected until I shift or let off. It's most prevalent at low RPM in a low gear but its there all the time. If I'm in third, at 2,000 RPM and go WOT, the car will accelerate, but not smoothly. From 2 to 3 grand it feels good then after that it's like I have 50 more HP. And its a quick change.
In higher gears it takes longer for the "kick" in HP to be noticed. It kinda reminds me of a V8's carb being out of adjustment, like you hit the gas an get baaa...ba....bup....bup.ba.ba.a.....BWAAAAAA shift BWAAAAAAAAAA.
If I stay on it its fine. Like rolling along in first at quater throttle, go WOT, heasitate for a sec then pull hard through the rest of the gears as long as no fuel cut till I let off. :1zhelp:
