Re: 16v loss of power in the 2k-3k rpm range

["Jason Arms" <redbug64@hotmail.com>]

Check your knock sensor & wire.  It should have a black insulation coating 
on it with no cracks... mine did not have the insulation at all!  and it was 
doing the same thing, but between 5 and 6k rpm.  I changed the wire & sensor 
since it is one unit, and bolted the knock sensor to the block with the 
correct torque and it fixed the problem.  Brett pointed this out to me on 
the way back from cincy this year.
