Default CEL code 20 and code 23 after build..

OK engine is rebuilt B16A.

Just breaked-in the motor with this metod: http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

OK engine seems strong after doing that

But just when I was driving back to carage, got CEL 20+23(CEL lighted up when I was accelerating and changed to 2nd gear and popped clutch)

and NOTICE ENGINE DIDN'T shutdown.

So those are Electric load and knock sensor..

When I was connecting that knock sensor plug, I remember that where the plug connects, was very loose...

So I guess it is just that sensor broken? Or the connector?

If I would have knocking, would it be JUST code 23?

Doesn't too lean mixture cause knocking?
I have wideband... how lean mixture causes knocking on fullthrottle?

Thanks!

I believe all motor full throttle is right at or around 13.0. Not 100% though I am a turbo guy

did you reset the codes?.. replace the knoch sensor if its broke.. that code mean the knock sensor is not connected or broke.. does not mean your knocking..

No I didn't reset

So, think this is broken knock sensor?

I would say get a new knock sensor and clear your codes.
