mmmm - suggest you go to a wreckers and get a replacement.

[Dylan720]

Engine or knock sensor

[duncanm]

knock - the known broken thing

[Dylan720]

I replaced the knock sensor still the same issue

Did you do the "battery dance" to clear the ECU's memory and thus any stored codes?

 

Then let the ECU do it's thing while it resets itself.  Leave the engine running at idle while it warms up and works out idle etc.  I doubt the knock sensor will get rid of the issue you're taking about, but it should certainly help the ECU work out correct fuel metering and give you a few more berries as well.

Yes i did its showing up up on scantool misfire codes only

Could it be valve lash possibly firing order of the valves be out can someone here send me the instructions to do it and ill check that out before ripping the engine apart again

So i did a cylinder leak down test over the weekend when doing it drivers side was fine when set the timing marks theres play in the sproket witch is normal but the left sude passenger side when timing is lind up the leak down test didnt worktjd valves were open but if when i put the sproket down to 6:00 they were shut and theres play in the sproket and valves were shut and the leak down test was normal. My question does all that sound rjght or does it seem that cam shaft could have been put in the head wrong

[El_Freddo]

When cam timing marks are aligned not all cylinders will be closed for a leak down test.

 

And THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY SLOP in the sprocket, they should all be tight so when they move, the cam moves with them.  With the cam belt fitted there shouldn't be any slop in that either, if things aren't tight there's an issue and this could have caused the cam belt to skip teeth.

 

I'm guessing though, that when you say "play in the sprocket" you mean that you can freely turn the cam gear by hand in either direction.  This is because all valves are closed and are not applying spring pressure to the cam lobes.

 

Another thought is to make sure the cam wheels are on the correct side.  They'll have markings on them, but it should be easy since one wheel is plastic - this should be on the driver's side (or the right hand side of the vehicle).

 

Otherwise I'm out of thoughts for this "round".  I hope you get it sorted soon!
