Have you ohm tested the knock sensors or are they being replaced because of a stored ECU code? I would highly recommend that you invest 10 minutes and personally ohm test your knock sensors and fuel injectors. If you don't own a voltmeter spend $15 and buy one. A bad KS (or two) is not causing the problems you have described in your other posts.
Just my opinion Alexander, and I've been following your posts since the beginning, but you are being fleeced by the stealership. You've spent at least $10,000 at stealership prices and your Q still doesn't run right. As far as I can tell it hasn't run right since the last time they gave it back to you (a few months ago?) after you dropped $5000 into their coffers. If you're convinced that your Q needs KS, FI and hoses then save yourself a ton of $$ and have it flatbedded 500 miles to Jerry Tucker in San Diego. When you get it back it will be running properly for much less than your getting ready to pay.
Please ohm your KS and FI and get back to us with the readings.
