I replaced fuel injectors, wires, plugs, distributor and some other parts. all this helped, but van still lose power and surges after engine hot. I been told after all this that the knock sensor retards timing and causes the fuel not to burn as it should. it not only senses knock, but is a protective device for the engine.
