So my 06 has been running sluggish when you accelerate. I have a gas smell outside the car after I do continuous driving (hr > at speeds 50-80). Check engine light and Emissions message on and below ill post the autozone code reader printout. Before I went to findout what codes, I looked up some stuff and I replaced MAP Sensor and plugs. That gave me back the 50% fuel economy i lost but to be honest I haven't put it through the before mentioned conditions (drive time/speeds) cuz im worried I'd lose the fuel economy again. SO THE WIRE TO THE KNOCK SENSOR PLUG (FNG verbiage sorry) is cut. Don't know hardly anything bout cars so best I guess is so the guy that sold it to me didn't have to fix it and it would take a month til the car messed up or what is/are logical reasons. Got exhaust manifold off investigating what needs replacing electrical so ill post what I find. REMEMBER IM A NEW YOUTUBE/GOOGLE TAUGHT DIYER SO ITS OPEN SEASON...GO! thanks guys Researched 2ndaries. Can i fix or replace the charcoal canister myself if worst case? Are those codes a false due to any others cuz i smell the fumes

It's probably okay to run the engine as-is but I recommend you replace the connector.
This sensor detects the initial signs of pre-ignition (knock) and the ECU retards the ignition timing.
Without a functioning knock sensor you could be cause harm to your engine under the right circumstances.
The only connector I can find is on Amazon which I would trust is of adequate quality, but I'm not 100% sure it fits our TSX engine.
At $6.99 + shipping its worth purchasing for a test fit. It also has a pigtail for soldering or butt connecting.
Replaced knock sensor but check emissions comes back on!
Changed the knock sensor and plug. Didnt check to see if its a power issue from the ECM. Otw to get multimeter to check but I know there's 2ndary codes I can address next. Running better and got 25mpg now. Its an automatic and its shifting at 2500 RPMS. my max RPMS is 3000 unless I punch it. Ill repost a pic of the codes again. Whats a good code reader? Like one that gives live data and would be awesome if it gave repairs too. Preferably no more than $200 to $250. Knock sensor replaced but check emissions comes back on. Feel RPMS are staying low. Haven't noticed fuel smell yet.
