engine problems
hi
bought a 1996 jap import wrx. recently been getting the cel come on when the engine is at normal running temp ****s me up when i see it cos just assume something is gonna be massively wrong. read the codes myself and its coming out that its a dodgy knock sensor. the car runs fine when the light is off but as soon as it appears it becomes quite sluggish and the turbo doesnt seem to be as affective. would the knock sensor cause this to happen?
never had an imperza before so i dont really know anything about them just know they can be expensive if there wrong so now abit paranoid it might be something massive.
what do ya recon any kind of help would be appreciated!!

You need to check what code(s) have been stored by connecting the plugs under the steering coloum,
