Ok so for the time being when brothers tuned my car they said they got it to where I should not be knocking. So, I guess I can remove it completely and screw it to the fire wall or something to ground it and my problem is fixed?

Oh yea do I need to plug the hole that the sensor was in with something?

you will not need to plug the hole, the hole leads to no where, but like Dsminduction stated, it is not a good idea, it's there to save your ass

Seriously...dont disable the knock sensor. If you have real knock the sensor will send a signal to retard timing. you want this or engine go boom.

if you just unplug the knock sensor, your only fixing the symptoms not the problem. its probably just a matter of getting a new sensor, if that doesnt work, track it down and fix it. not tryin to be rude, but if you dont want to do that, sell it and buy something n/a (just stating what i think, sorry if you dont like it)

No, why would you think this is rude? That is actually what I want to do but where do I buy a new knock sensor.

Here you go

that is for auto zone, i'm more than certain the dealership would have them, along with napa, and all the other auto parts stores...

Just get it from the dealer if the auto parts stores don't have one. Replacing it is the best thing to do.
