well, i got the idea that a bad knock sensor connection or such could cause the ignition to be retarded, when the voltage drops ignition timing gets retarded.

So I go to look for the knock sensor, havent found it yet. So I look for the module, manual says should be next to the evap purge cannister under the big electrical connectors. I dont have a knock sensor module. I have a plug there, but no module, doesnt appear to have had one in a long time if ever either since there is dirt in the plug.

Is it located somewhere else, ??? Anyone know??? I would think that I would get a code if it was missing, but I know I didnt get an EGR code when I unplugged the VSV for that so who knows.
