Anyone had problems with knock sensors on 5VZ?
After car is warm and engine is placed under load, check engine light comes on and car dramatically loses power. Stays like this until car is restarted. Code indicates knock sensors, which explains the lack of power as I imagine the computer plays it safe and retards the timing.
Have replaced sensors, and loom under manifold. Have done basic checks back to ECU, no short or open circuit to sensors.
Apart from this engine is in excellent condition, has had top end rebuild and runs beautifully.
I'm at a total loss as is every person who has looked at the problem.
