    Concern: Light rattle can be heard from the engine when you get in the throttle sometimes. Also if you get heavy on the throttle it cuts power off almost like it’s a limiter. Checked my logs and knock retard was up to around 7 at one second. I’m pretty sure the rattle is the injector seals and I’m wondering if that would set the knock sensor off causing the reading?

    Correction:

    Here is a clip of it doing the rattle under throttle. Let me know what you think it is, and if that could be the cause of the power cut and the knock retard reading. It’s not cutting power completely it’s more of like a limiting type of cut.
