"cel comes on and its knock sensor"

u just answer your own question bro

hondaEg_808

so if knock sensor comes on then it wont pass 7k??

killerpenguin21

correct.

its a built in fail safe basically...a limp mode.

hondaEg_808

what can i do for it to pass 7k?? is there a way to disable this limp mode?? would a chipped ecu work??

killerpenguin21

fix the damn knock sensor issue.

crx-b18c

need new knock sensor

hondaEg_808

so if i just add a knock a sensor it should pass 7k??
and vtec isnt engaging?

killerpenguin21

your car is in limp mode like i said which means lower rev limit and no vtec

we have no way of telling if the sensor is bad or if the wiring is wrong.

hondaEg_808

oh okay well.... im gonna try use another engine harness and see whats up! maybe wires were cross because this harness has alot of splicing...

hondaEg_808

my friend has a lsv and he doesnt have a knock sensor and its still engages vtec and passes 7k??!

killerpenguin21

ill put money on him running a chipped ecu with the knock sensor turned off.

hondaEg_808

no bro gsr ecu not touched! knock sensor dont come on and some sensors are not even plugged in and its still fast! wtf?! idk but yah bro we did everything in my car check all the sensors all the wiring seems good.. and still taps at 7k! and we used a chipped ecu and still the same!

killerpenguin21

well if its throwing a code that is the issue so you need to resolve the code period.
