knock censor
 

hey all
I just wanted to what reasons by knock censor would turn on my check engine light like what type of vibrations and then why my check engine light would just turn off all of a sudden.

These things are very sensitive. My friend broke off an exhaust manifold bolt and the manifold was vibrating against thehead and set it off.

Hey bro, just do some googleing on the internet and you can find all the specific information for your truck. Get you a good cup of coffee, throw ya a dip in(if you dip), and sit back and read up. With a little time and effort, you'll know your truck like the back of your hand. Knowingand understanding your truck like the back of your hand, will save you a lot of time and money.Take it easy and havesome fun with your 4x4.

PSThe first thing that all Chevy lovers should knowabout the Chevy small block, which is what you have, is the firing order.
1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2It just sounds so goodrolling off the tongue.
Take it easy bro!
