No low end!!! Knock sensor
Hi everyone, I have a 96 hatch back civic.. I recently put a y8 head on the original y7 block since then I've lost all low end and have a knock sensor code!! Where would a knock sensor go on a y7 block? And why no low end?

I guess I have to say it a fifth time, and reiterate the other solution that has been said three times already.
Check your IGNITION timing.
Wire up a KNOCK SENSOR.

Would my timing being off a tooth cause a knock sensor code? Put new one in and cleared all codes, ran it hard, seemed better but my code came back for the knock sensor????

Re: No low end!!! Knock sensor
Did you do a complete mini me swap? You said you changed the head. Did you rewire iacv, and change the ecu also? you definitely need to wire your knock sensor in. I feel that's the cause of the "issues" you're having. Throw that knock sensor code, and your ecu pulls alot of timing causing "performance" issues......
