So, my mechanic replaced the knock sensor and cleared the CEL, but he has experienced no improvement in the way the motor runs (rough idle, bucking under load...)
I suggested to adjust the TPS, because I had in an attempt to solve the problem before I let him try... but I haven't heard from him yet, which is not a good sign.
Whatdyall think? He mentioned the ECU might be bad, which is of course possible, but I don't understand that... 105k replacement? That's not on the maintenance schedule...
Awesome right?
Edit: Could this be somehow related to TSB# NTB00-096a which calls for a special ECM program? It is odd however, because it ran great when I bought it at 104k... less than 1000 miles later and the $hit hits the fan... Thanks Murphy!
Edit: Also, NTB00-052c further suggests an ECM replacement/reprogram ... Curiouser and curiouser...
