    KR O3ns me

    Used LT/ST method in SD
    Replaced MAF, after 80mi Lt=+/-4 St =-/-4
    @1600/2400 RPM I keep getting KR (1-3)
    so I subtracted that amount from HO spark table, and it's still there????

    I previously used MAF calc. to calibrate (stock) MAF (KN filter only) =4-5 KR
    So I went back to the stock MAF settings which reduced KR to 1-3

    I have 4" Custom CAI (uninstalled), but I want to get it right from the ground up.

    This seems very messy. I would go back to stock tune,
    and clean the MAF thoroughly with a fast-dry electrical
    cleaner like Q-D. Then do the logging and look at the
    signs from O2 sensors, RPM, TPS, MAP, fuel air mult,
    spark advance to see what precipitates the knock event.
    If it's a '98 then there may be knock sensor sensitivity
    problems and any motor could develop mechanical noise
    that gets picked up. But try untangling the tune first.

    I cleaned the MAF, getting ready to make 7hr trip, plenty time to log.......
    results coming Sun.

    Everything was fine, until I moved back to WV and it got colder.
    The previous tune that was in for 2mo. was fine, until I started messing w/ it.

    Re: KR O3ns me

    So I returned my truck to it's original stock tune, drove about 20mi and knock started appearing again.(I'm looking at histograms max. value for knock and avg. for LT & ST)
    So I hook up to my neighbor's 02 5.3 bone stock w/ 21k mi.
    0's across the board for knock, make LT adjustments by mult. by % and ST by 1/2%, and I'll be damn if KR doesn't show in the same areas as they were on my truck.

    Anyone willing to look at Bin's to see where I am going astray?
