Default Pocket logger results, WTF ???

Took the car for a spin with the logger. I got a knock count of 43 just slowly pulling out of my apartment complex. I saw anywhere from 10-40 counts of knock every time i let the clutch out in 1st.
and my throttle position sensor is showing 14% with the car at idle. the throttle position i can fix but my question about the knock is, WTF ?


here is a log of just normal acceleration, notice all the knock as I "roll out" of 1st gear.



Here is hard acceleration, 12psi

What logger software are you using?

Check your knock sensor. It's located on the back of the block underneath the intake manifold. Have you ever replaced it? It might be bad. They do go bad... how many miles on the car? Feel the backside of it... if it sticky or part of the backing is missing you need to replace it.
