Still waiting for warmer temps. It's been below 20F here for most of the last 2 weeks. I don't see much value/benefit in making the test runs when it's that cold.
I think ideally it's be best to wait until it's at least above 40F, which may come in the next week or 2...
Does anyone have thoughts about whether a 3 degree timing pull can be attributed to knock?

A few things that need to be said.
The knock sensor is reactive, not proactive. It can only react to detonation, it can't prevent it. Relying on the knock sensor as a form of tuning by either an individual or a manufacturer is wrong. The knock sensor is there to soften the blow for a short period of time, such as the owner accidentally running 87 once or twice.

It MIGHT be able to knock a bit, but again, the TL's knock control method is so sensitive and weird that I bet you'd be running around with knock retard all the time based on a higher knock control %, rather than experiencing tons of knocking.

FWIW, in 11 years and 190K miles, I've never experienced audible knock coming from my engine, even in 100F Louisiana temps.
