I do. If the both codes only come on when you warm the car up then you have a bad distributor. You can get away with taking apart your distributor and changing just the sensor if you have another distributor lying around. As long as it is a honda dizzy the sensor will fit. It may be the cause of the knock sensor code. It could also be a faulty sensor or poor quality fuel. Fix the distributor first. If that doesnt clear the knock sensor repost or pm me.

Yea All 3 sensor in the inside of the distributor are exactly the same but you can use the one with the correct colors. I think the sensor you will be replacing is the one with orange and white wire but pull up a schematic just in case im wrong. You didnt do the dpfi to mpfi swap did you?
