Default Knock Sensor Please Help Me (Update)

I've changed the knock sensor on my 95 import and no wonder it was showing up faulty because it was split in half and the person before me tried sellotaping it back together. It seems to have helped the car when pulling away from a junction and she seems to pull much better when I put my foot down! So I took her for a long spin and she was running great, i was so chuffed! But when i got back into town she seemed to miss a bit, only a little, just a small jerk when putting my foot down! Seems as if she doesn't get fuel quick enough,

OH i dont know but I'm so gutted because i thought i'd solved it!

Any one got any ideas what could be wrong now?

Thanks Claire

Did you reset the ecu after fitting the new sensor?
I do that a s a matter of course when replacing sensors.

I was gonna suggest resetting the ECU aswell. When I had the knock sensor replaced on mine the ECU was reset and not had a problem since.

Good luck with it.

You can do it that way or www.scooypedia.co.uk look under 'ECU' and it shows you the connectors under the dash and how to read error codes and rest the ecu.
