One of those codes is for the ignition circuit and one is for the knock sensor circuit. They are both somewhat related. The knock sensor tells the computer when to retard the timing and the ignition module does it.
You could have a problem with any of the 3 of those components setting both codes. I would start with checking out the knock sensor.

There are no wires going to the knock sensors....any chance you know what color wire goes to them? I cant find the knock sensor on my wireing diagrams

The knock sensor is in the right side of the block, right in front of the starter. It's a single Dark blue wire.

Re: 93 suburban running like crap Sign In

is it possible the truck can run fine without the wire hooked to the knock sensor? I have searched for the harness and or wire all over and cannot find one....if so what else can i look for

Re: 93 suburban running like crap Sign In

If you have the 4L60-E transmission, it's at pin B15 of the ECM
If you have the 4L80E transmission, it at pin D5 of the ECM
On a manual trans, it's not showing me

Have you found the sensor itself?

Re: 93 suburban running like crap Sign In

What i am saying is that The knock sensor doesnt have a wire hooked to it and I don't know how it would just fall off and not just be dangling there...so i would like to know where to trace it from so if need be I can run a new wire. I appreciate any further advice
