Hell, what do you mean "Is phantom knock still a big issue with these sensors?"

 

I have been watching a CEL come on sometimes (more than occasionally but not frequently)  with ECM Lite and a reasonable tune, I'll be pretty stuffed it is a prob with the knock sensor! If it is, is there a better than OEM knock sensor that can be fitted ?

 

Re "I thought ECMlink incorporated a software based configurable knock signal filter to combat this?"

 

is this what you mean ?

That setting is just for the mil on your dash.. phantom knock is a big issue i feel.. i'm going to use my ecmlink in my drag car.. i think i will tune with the knock sensor disconnected...

In ECMLink, you can not only change the knock count value that will trigger a CEL, but you can also command the ECU to ignore the knock sensor below a user set rpm threshold.

You just use the logs you record to determine if it's real or phantom knock that you're dealing with.

This ^ is what I was trying to say Dave.

Who wants to trade an Autronic SMD for an ECM LINK for a VR4?

 

I'm going back to a daily driver on the AMG so I would like a stock ecu.

 

Btw, entertaining read above from the WA guys.

Must be something in the water.
