Knock sensor won't keep it from running. Also, go back over what you have. What is the compression reading? Have you verified you are getting fuel in the cylinder? Is the coil pack sparking at that cylinder? There are only 3 things needed, spark, fuel and air (compression). If the other cylinders are firing normally, then timing is probably fine.

well im gonna change the knock sensor anyway to clear the code and i forgot the last time i did the compression test but i know the reading was in the normal range and there is fuel cuz i change the injector on that cylinder and yes there is spark.
