Just for the record - 
I recently have been chasing a knock sensor code that was popping up frequently and at the strangest times on the 3B URQ.
Turns out (apparently so far) that Steve Eiche is the winner. He suggested that I start at the beginning and check torque on the buggers. Since I had put them in and knew they were tight, it wasn't my first inclination. Turns out I had evidently tightened them to 22 lb/ft - not Newton/meters. That was about what my torque wrench needed to loosen them. After re-torqueing, have not seen a code for 2 weeks. Seems that only slightly over-tightened will cause "issues".
