My main question is if bare wires coming out of the knock sensor could that fry the knock sensor? Or is there just a fuse I need to check?? Car runs like crap, slower than slow, seems like it has a misfire or something. Code 43 aka ESC is on.
I'll go at in the morning when I can see what I'm doing, my driveway isn't well lit.
More details:
Just took front cover on and off 2 times, car is back together and running, but doesn't run like it did before pulling the front cover. So I Changed plugs and wires, fixed all vacuum leaks, and it does have fresh gas, and a new crank sensor etc. But nothing so far has helped it run better
At idle it seems as if it has a misfire or something, not smooth. When I try to accelerate, sounds and feels like i'm running on 4 cylinders or less, its really a dog, can't really build more than a few pounds of boost unless I stay in it for like ten seconds.
Its thowing code 43 which from what I understand points to Electronic Spark control and could be the knock sensor, ECM, ESC, or a bad connection or something.
I noticed today that the knock sensor beeped once when I put the car into gear always has done this) and once when I gave it 3/4 thottle long enough to hit 10lbs of boost.
I was meaning to test my coil pack and tps voltage tomorrow in the daylight, but decided to read up on code 43 first, saw that it deals with the knock sensor, and went out and saw the bare wires, they weren't touching, but could've at one point.
