I had a shorted knock sensor cable (there are two). The engine light came on but it ran normally.
If you are going to replace a knock sensor (broke off the plastic stalk), get one used from the parts yard, eBay, Craig's list, ect. I believe a 1 1/8" or a 1 1/4" socket fits it. Make sure its not a short in the wiring harness if your knock sensor is undamaged. I ruined 2 taking the starter off different times. Turned out
it was the main fuel pump relay. The engine would not crank when it was hot after stopping and sitting.
