Hi, I have 2008 JDM MR with tephra v3 and have been datalogging actively with Evoscan and Torque (with MUT2). I could not get rid of low load knock when I drove in auto mode, especially at D6 (gear 6) and you gently tap on throttle and my CEL flash like mad (CEL on knock).

The car will hesitate to go forward until I step 50% more throttle to get over it. This happen on load below 100, timing is pulled, Octane drop. I tried changing different gas, less aggressive timing and mivec timing, it doesn't help. Here's 3 screenshot of logs that support this.

I don't get any knock during WOT and if I drive with manual mode, I seldom encounter low load knocks.

Any clue?

 

Thanks for 400s, my knock at low load is gone now!

 

Happy to help! Enjoy

 

feel like sharing what the fix was

 

Yeap, knock sensitivity load threshold on RPM below 2500. Or maybe just change all value across all RPM to 90 load.

 

Thanks for that
