Are both knock sensors the same one or is each one different?

did you did like a reset thing to it or just conect the battery back on

[scotts01Z71]

@joseelduke22 I have a scan tool that i used to clear the code but disconnecting the battery will serve the same purpose. Thanks for checking out the vid. :)

@scotts01Z71 the guy who sold me the car didn't tell me that there was no check engine light bulb in.. go figure, but i went down to the junk yard and found about 20 of them with some other things that i need it for ten bux! i need to go and buy one of those error code testers tomorrow. I'll test it out and see what happens, cause it failed smog.

@1978alexn Is the Check Engine light on? If so, what code is it giving.

@scotts01Z71 its when i step on the gas that does it. not really when i turn it on the suv. it does sound like a piston slap.. is there any way to make the engine run smother so i don't have to hear that dreadful noise. its a v8 5.7.
