Question

Hi all,

I've got a secs monitor fitted and was wondering how to read and understand the KC Knock correction readout.

Mine just sits at 0.0 all the time and has never moved.
Should it move ?
And, what does it mean if it does move.

I've got a decat MY99 UK turbo if that helps.

Thanks
Kevin

Taken from ecutech web site... hope they dont mind....

The number of degrees added or subtracted from the ignition timing based on the amount of knock detected. Positive values are ignition advance (due to the absence of knock). Negative values are ignition retard (due to the presence of knock). These ECUs run active knock correction, and it is quite normal to see +2 to -3 degrees of correction. Maximum power is produced on the point of knock beginning, and the sensor is there to keep the timing 'on the edge'.
See here for more info

Nor does mine - I use it as an elapsed time device (Start of engine to arrival at destination)
