Can稚 see your post for some reason dan but no of course not. 2WD is asking for knock sensors to go bad when I get stuck in a puddle

old man thinks it might be bad gas though, I literally just got gas yesterday and then this so maybe

Throw a bunch of octane booster at it, or check the knock sensor harness. If you didn't replace it with the sensors thats likely the cause.

Oh also the octane boost with Flames or lightening bolts on the bottle is proven to be betterer

I値l keep that in mind. This is a gas station I don稚 normally go to but wanted to start going to since it is dead on my way home. I値l try octane booster though.

I did buy a new harness as well with the two new knock sensors. Drove all the way to work today and it did not pop. We shall see on my return trip.

I use one of the same two stations unless I'm out of town. The closest station to me opened in the sixties and I remember the tanks being replaced sometime in the late 80's. Needless to say I only buy lawnmower fuel there. All the fuel is the same around here and comes through the "Colonial Pipeline" from Houston to Charlotte.

The only differences is the additive package each company brand adds after arrival at the tank farm.
Always look for the (GM recommended) "Top Tier" sticker on the pump

Never even heard of that. I致e been to the station before but not often pretty rare I go there. My commute changed so I wanted to try it since it is so close and in a perfect spot.

I値l go back to my old station. Made it to work no CEL so we値l see what happens on my return trip
