Does anybody know if noisy tappets would set off the knock sensor and hence engine management?
Just found out yesterday that my ECU is retarding/restricting the engine.
Gettin the tappets done anyway, they need doing, very noisy. But i'm interested to know if that'l solve the problem.
its a 1995 corsa sri 1.4 ecotec 16v.

its had the engine management checked at a garage. You can tell its restricting when your drivin it as well, unless thats somethin else, but i don't think it is. Funny thing is, the ECU dash light only went on once then off and has stayed off.
