I was just wondering if the knock sensor would cause a gas leak or anything remotely close to that, I was told that it was a bad knock sensor, but I'm thinking fuel pump/filter leak? I also noticed some light smoke from the back of my engine after driving a little hard to diagnose the clutch, thinking that's maybe a small oil leak from the seal? Anyone have any suggestions?

[EDIT: Didn't mean to double post for same issue, lock please..]

The ECU would let you know if you have a bad knock sensor. It's Code 34. Is your check engine light on?

You gotta take care out that before your Z ends up in smoke. Pulling the Plenum isn't that bad though i did it for the 1st time yesterday and it only took 2 1/2 hours.
