Re: Wanted- knock box

["Christian Els" <tiAn@usiw.net>]

This brings up a wider question for me, how does a mis-behaving knock box
affect overall driveability?

My understanding is that it should retard timing a bit across the board,
making things a bit sluggish, if stronger on the bottom-end.

Can it affect starting, as it seems to for Victor?

Bentley doesn't really go into detail about how the KS affects the system
when it isn't working correctly. Any of you can straighten me out?

TIA,

Subject: Wanted- knock box


Anyone have a working knock box they want to sell?  This is needed for
a 16v conversion into an A1 Jetta.  The motor and wiring harness came
from a 16v Scirocco, but the Jetta won't start.

It came w/ a knock box but the car wouldn't start.  We plugged that
knock box into my 16v rocco, and my car wouldn't start.  Plugged my
knock box back into my car, and my car started fine.  I am assuming
that the knock box that came w/ the conversion has somewhow crapped
out.

Suggestions?  Knock box for sale???
