3 is your MAP sensor electrical problem and 17 is the VSS or car speed sensor.

dont hold me responsalbe cause i dont have these codes, but I think 21 is your VETC solonoid and 23 is the VTEC oil presure sensor.

look at my avatar <--- that's waht i'm doing now! i didnt see u knew what the codes were.

The knock sensor is on the back of the head and detects things like detonation, preignition, and other harmfull-things-to-the-engine symtoms.

my car is turboed so this is why it scares me

if one of those many things occured once or twice would the code still be on the ecu or will it clear off?

Getting the code means that there's a problem with the sensor, not that your getting detonation,etc.., check for bad grounds or lose conections.

is your car a OBD0 or 1? i need to know for your last question
