Knock Sensor Problem, Need Help?

Question

Toyota Celica 2001 GT 4Cy. 1.8L

Didn't read any other problems anymore, except this code.

PO325 Problem Code- Knock Sensor

I had a misfire and a knock sensor condition. Well I put a new igition coil, which fixed my misfire. I didn't bother checking on the knock sensor condition at the time, so I took it for a ride. My car sounded nicer and was more power then ever for about 5-20 miles, then it went back to its old ways. Can a knock sensor condition make my exhuast sound horrible (Sounds like a lawnmower now; popping noise :(, make the engine shake to where I can feel it on the steering wheel, and take away power from my engine? Also, if a timing belt is timed wrong by maybe one tooth could that cause my engine to run rough, therefore setting off the knock sensor???

Answer 1

not sure.. but if you clear the code and it comes back up a code for the knock sensor then its bad anyway.. you need to replace it. and who knows that may fix it..
