The knock sensor monitors for detonation.

You need to :

See how much boost you are running - are you getting enough fuel?
See how much boost you are running - is your timing set accordingly?
Are you running high octane gas?

Just curious, why would that be related to the knock sensor. I have that problem, but I am positive it is blowby.

Blow by is oil that gets sucked into the intake tract of the motor either thru PCV valve or valve cover nipple.

Also, are you running standard plugs or did you get the 2 step colder plugs? If not, you should.

Get some "NGK BKR7E Spark Plugs" from the local Auto Store. Also, throw some octane booster in there too. See if the car runs better. Those items should help.
