Default Knock sensor causing a sluggish 3rd gear

Ok, i finally got my knock sensor hooked up on my B16A OBD1 swap and since its been sluggish in spots going from about 2500 to 4000 rpms then it clears up. It has to be the knock sensor pulling timing for something. I just used crimp connectors and speaker wire until the radioshack gets in some 18 gauge sheilded wire and 50/50 solder. Could it be picked up voltage? or is does this have some kind of connection to my other problem of the knocking/rattle noise?

Just wanting to make sure everythings gravy
