Did you use shielded wire for the knock sensor wiring? If not, that would be your problem. The knock sensor is sensitive to electrical interference's and the shielded wire blocks out those interference's from the surrounding sensors and such.

Also double check and ensure you have set the pin in the plug fully. I had a friend that didn't do that and thought it was in, double check it as your CEL won't be on for a bit even if it's not getting a reading.

I agree btw you can get the shielded wire from radio shack, just in case you didn't know.

read this again! You have your answer.Another thing you can do is get a different ECU. p73 no knock sensor, p28 no knock sensor.

Not true. The P73 does read a knock sensor.
