I just got my H23 back in from the shop and the knock sensor is busted for one thing. we got it started and got it warmed up then took it out on the road and it was chuggin and the tack was jumpin all over the place. got back home and found out the cap and rotor was shitty so i got a new one today and started it up and ran it easy on the road and it died on me and wouldnt start back up it was chuggin again before it died but the tack wasnt jumping. so got it back and pulled the spark plugs with 2 miles on them and there black. we dont know whats wrong any help would be great

I think you answered your question in your question

Replace your knock sensor! It's screwing with your timing

 

dude, my knock sensor isnt even hooked up (broken) and my car runs fine. mine died a few weeks ago and it was the distributor ignitor. cost me 150 with parts and labor at an exclusive honda shop. easy fix. i was frustrated too.
