Knock Sensor

[Mike DePolo <depolom@badger.jsc.vsc.edu>]

After trying to figure why my car was hesitating for the past few months 
I broke down and took it to the dealer for diagnosis. Five hours later I 
was told that they had narrowed it down to the knock sensor. They had 
checked my entire fuel system and that was fine, but the knock sensor 
was giving the computer bad codes. Along with the hesitation I was 
getting poor gas milage and the emissions check light was coming. Since 
the diagnosis was done the emissions light no longer comes on, but the 
hesitation is still there. Since they had not even completed the tests 
or done any repairs I sheduled they appointment to finish up the 
diagnosis and see if I wanted them to repair it. Then when I tried to 
leave with my car I was slapped with a bill for $150 for three hours of 
labor just for them trying to figure out what was wrong with it. Also, 
on the way home I notice one of my seats had been gouged by a careless 
mechanic. I want to know if the information they gave me sounds correct 
after going through all this nonsense. I hope someone can help me.
