[@MyrtleBeachbigwheel]

Thanks for the info I’m changing mine first time tomorrow ..I got the code p1326 engine flashing light and it hesitates when accelerating

[@Marsh-Mechanic]

Let me know how it works out for you

Hi, I'm wondering if this problem could be causing the slow start speed?

[@Marsh-Mechanic]

If by slow start, you mean after the car is running you takeoff from a dead stop and it doesn’t accelerate correctly. Yes, if you mean, it takes a while to get the car running usually no. The bad sensor can put it in “limp mode” the car won’t accelerate correctly or go over 60.

What about an engine knocking noise when accelerating ?

[@Marsh-Mechanic]

Sounds like premature detonation could be bad gas depends on what sort of knocking you’re talking about.. could be that VVT advancing. The timing may need the timing chain with those two VVT gears.

[@Marsh-Mechanic]

But naturally, if it’s a rod knock hearing, there’s nothing you can do other than replace the engine

[@Jtkidstalk]

Is this a costly repair?

[@Marsh-Mechanic]

@@Jtkidstalk The part isn’t that much but the labor might be a bit. Maybe parts and labor 250-350 depending on the shop

I change my knock sensor and it came back on

Hello.. These systems can be very frustrating. Did you reset the computer with a scanner after you installed the sensor? Also sometimes the problem can be the wiring to the sensor. They sell a harness that is re routed to not pick up vibration and trip a code.
