So Ross, what code did you get?

As for that great looking how-to I think we'll be seeing a lot more of it in the near future.

Shouldn't matter. You should still check which code that was (it should still be stored) just so that it doesn't turn into something worse in the future.

Engine Light

Hey,
My cars Engine warning light keeped on coming on every know and then, and we figured out that it was the Knock sensors, and it was running on one knock sensor for both banks.
This is just an idea on what it could be. Because my light came on only every now and then also.
