NF Engine knock sensor



<<For at least a year, if I leave it for a day or two in wet weather, it is
hard to start, and runs very rough for a while (10-30 minutes). I assumed
cap/wires/something like it.  Well, it's rained for 16 days straight here, and
it's DEAD.>>

Andrew, someone else will probably address the knock sensor situation, I don't
have a clue.  But I did recently have a similar set of symptoms with one of my
'87 5K TQs.  Traced it to the coil.  Replaced the coil and the problems went
away, including running poorly for 20 minutes or so.  I suspect it was
absorbing moisture and would only act right after the coil dried out.  
     (The dead knock sensor might simply be coincidental.)

     Later.
