Did you inspect the knock sensor to see if it is working?

is it on all the time or only after revving high?

Like, does it come on right after you start the car up or what?

Try backing off the timing, running better fuel, or check and make sure you have it in all the way and it's not broken or anything.

I've actually busted knock sensors in hal;f before...lol

could it be the wiring? seems as if its not plug for some reason....you should try double checking the wires( trace the wires from the knock sensor back)... if its all hooked up you'll at least know that the motor is knock and its not a faulty connection... part of a illimination process... hope that helps..

You need insulated wire.
I've got the same problem with my Sir-II swap. It doesnt effect performance or anything, but its just kinda annoying to have that code thrown. I get it after the car is warm and VTEC engages.
I havent found a place in town that sells insulated wire so I havent been able to fix mine yet.
