Title: Bad Plugs

I recently needed to change my plugs (coz they had done their 5,000 miles) and before the change I was experiencing high knock values, afterwards the knock values had dropped to normal.
 
So, if plugs can be the cause of high knock values, and the ECU detects this and goes into limp mode, then, yes, indirectly, the plugs could be the cause.
 
But I really am not technical enough to justify this :rolleyes:
