Hi All:
This is my first post here. After selling my 1996 in 2007, I've been wanting to replace it. I'm looking at a 1993 with 170k miles. It's 100 miles away (San Diego vs LA) which makes PPI logistics difficult, but it's very clean and a good price. The seller does say there is a small oil leak, but also that the CEL comes on after a few minutes of driving. He said the code is the knock sensor, which he replaced with a used one but it didn't solve the issue. He smogged it in June, but not since. How scared of this issue should I be? I'm not very mechanical. Thank you very much.
