Is this knock retard?
Ok this is bugging the crap out of me.When im driving in overdrive and im cruisin at 55 at 1500 RPM, when I hit the gas the rpms will go up a tiny bit and just go back down, the car will still eccelerate just VERY slowly.

Knock Retard Or KR is something the PCM will do to protect the engine. It will pull timing. So under WOT you my have 15* of timing and the PCM thinks the engine could be damaged to it my pull 3* from that giving you 12* Under normal driving you should not see any KR.

Even third gear is doggy, ive had the car for three years and it was given a tune up right after i bought it, i keep up with all fluid changes and any other keep up. Ive also cleaned the MAF sensor and most of the throttle body. Dont get me wrong it runs very good its just very sluggish pretty much all the time.
