Anyone have any problems like this P330 Lh bank malfunction. It just came on after i did the whole manifold cleaning? Could it be from Shitty gas?

DTC-P0330 does identify the left bank KS (knock sensor). So in theory I would think bad gas could cause your problem. Are you burning premium? If it's intermittent it could be a wiring problem or a sensor going bad. If you clear the code and it does not come back you have an intermittent problem. If it does come back you more than likely have a bad sensor.

Yes i'm burning premium. I just did the intake manifold cleaning 2 weeks ago. changed plugs and cleanen injectors. It would be my luck that sensor would go out and i would have to tear it all down again.

Did you have the P0330 code prior to your cleaning the manifold and the injectors? If not, you may have damaged the wiring to the left bank knock sensor when you were doing the maintenance and it may just be a simple wire repair and not a bad sensor.

I drove around for 2 weeks after no CEL. Now i fill upat clarks witch is like a hillbilly station and i get a CEL at 72 miles. Sensor went bad or bad gas. Now sure.

eh, got the dag on code back 2 days ago and i cleared it again, hasnt come back on so far, but i'll give it a full week, if it comes on again then i know for sure its a bad sensor...

came back 2 weeks ago, cleared it again, and so far so good, probably just needed to clean out all the bad gas from the system, but just in case im still keeping an eye on replacement knock sensors on ebay, if it comes on again then im gona have to call around
