2015 2.3 Ecoboost knock sensor gain adjustment
I have a 2.3 ecoboost from a 2015 mustang that I swapped into a Mitsubishi Starion.
The number 1 knock sensor is reading twice as high number 2 even at idle. I verified this using forscan to datalog the readings since I was unable to datalog using VCM Scanner. This is causing 2 degrees of knock retard in every pull on cylinders 1 and 2 and making it very difficult to tune.
I went into VCM editor to adjust the knock sensor gain but I do not have it as an option in VCM editor. I can only select the number of sensors. Does anyone have any ideas or tips on how I can fix this?
PS I have already tried changing the knock sensor and it did not make a difference.

Make sure you didn't bump the switch for knock to global instead of individual.
Could have some knock sensor wire chaffing going on.
Don't mess with the advanced sensor stuff. I've seen thousands of tunes and some high power stuff and never seen anyone adjust any advanced sensor dwell or gain settings.

I didn't and I have checked and rechecked the wires. I just pulled it all apart again to test the wires to the ecu and they tested good. I am stumped. Its like one sensor has increased gain. I know on most cars that can be adjusted on HP tuners. I just don't know why that feature isn't available.
