Lately, my SAFC has showed a bit of knocking... up to 41 is as high as I have seen that the SAFC reads. I dont know what is a safe level to see. But it has been worrying me lately. It seems to only happen if the temperate gets a little warm if I dont have my fans running.

this subject confuses me too, some people say that the safcs knock sensor is worthless and picks up random vibrations around the motor, but i asked apexi's tech support and they say it gets the reading directly from the ecu which gets it from the knock sensor so i dunno.. how much boost u running?

41 thats nothing mine just hit 223. My damn trans is fudged, so it makes a loud clunking noises which the knock sensor picks up.

Its just when I am cruising down the highway. It starts then and just jumps all over the place. It didnt seem to do it before though. It could just be that I just noticed it though too. Just worried me! I dont hear anything out of the ordinary. I heard cars with light weight flywheels skip from time to time though.
