I had the same deal with my 00 PCM, could play with timing, afr, new knock sensors and race gas all day, it still threw a fair amount of random kr all the time. I swapped to an 02 PCM and it cleared up 100%. To me, $200 is cheaper than a new engine because your PCM can't tell you true knock from false knock. Also, I tried an 02 OS with the 00 PCM, didn't help at all.

Im pretty sure I would have to license whatever file I want to write to my pcm with hptuners. That means im still out the $200 with my same physical pcm. I found a few salvage yards nearby that should have an 02 pcm. If the plugs dont work, that will be next stop.

If I remember right, the 01+ pcms had a better processor or some type of physical improvement. Been awhile since I dealt with it, but I'm pretty sure it was more then just the operating system.

Use the config files I posted. Im logging my wideband through my EGR so it shows up only as one of my custom PIDs. AFR is very close with the meth off, and rich (obviously) with it on.
Garret, yea Ive heard that, but I dont have an 02 computer nor want to pay $200 to license and apply a custom SD OS in addition to the cost of the pcm to test that theory.
