Anyone tune this out?
I get a fair amount 2-6* KR while in AFM mode every now and then
I tried pulling timing(from stock) helped a little.
Knocks the same on 87 or 93 octane...
It seems a few of us have this anyone tune it out or is it just false knock (its still pulling timing of course and costing power).

The difference is trivial anyhow..... It definitely sounds much better with it turned off.

I got the same thing after playing with the tune you sent me john (which had a couple of cells a few deg higher then stock), I put mine back to stock which helped, I might get a deg or so with the detuned KR sensors. Are you getting 2-6* with your detuned KR sensors because that would be alot?

John, I've played around with this alot, and I found that I get slightly less KR by ADDING a degree or 2 across the range, but I firmly believe this is false knock caused by the vibrations during DoD mode, so I put my spark table back to stock in DoD.

Yeah my table is currently stock (or very close to it).
And its not consistent, meaning on the same scan session there will be some KR and then none. My sensors aren't detuned, but my attack rate is decreased and decay is increased. It only happens occasionally--and I get no KR WOT.
I don't think this KR is all that damaging (vs. KR at higher load/rpms), but still robbing me of efficiency.
I'll likely leave the DoD table stock seems to be the best way.
I don't want to turn AFM off, I like the extra 3 mpg on the highway.
