TYPE OF STUTTER/STUMBLE Steady throttle/Increasing throttle/Both: MODS Intake: None Exhaust: Catted nvidia DP, Q300 CB Fuel: 91/93 Turbo: Stock Vf40 Engine Management: Cobb AP V3 Tuner and revision of tune(if you don't mind): Rev2 of torqued performance tune MAINTENANCE Sensors changed: none currently Plugs changed: 20 miles ago Coil Packs changed: 20 miles ago OTHER SYMPTOMS Check Engine Light: None Etc: -12 feedback knock around 2300-2500 rpm. Car is pulling timing due to "knock" short block compression and leakdown are fine. No rod bearing material in oil filter. RESULTS What has and hasn't worked for you: Tried changing from OTS tune to E tune and changing spark plugs and coil packs. If something worked, how long has it been working for: Nothing currently.

Yeah the car feels quite jerky between 2000 and 3000. The stutter is due to timing being pulled in that range because the car thinks its knocking. I have checked all around for anything loose, my shop thinks its my extra "ticky" valvetrain causing the knock to be picked up but I think its something else causing that. Im at a complete loss though.

I have narrowed it down to that scenario in my post below but I have attached some logs to help make it a bit more clear on where it is occurring.

xt2005, my long term fuel trims seem to be fine but I do get a lot of AF correction in this range, I am thinking maybe it is a fuel injector related maybe it is dying and causing just the right frequency to make it go off? Who knows. I made another post with the logs if you want to look at them there. It is mostly between 2000 and 2600 rpm with about 30-40% throttle in 3rd and 4th gear cruising or taking off.

Thanks for all the replies everyone, my valve train is also quite ticky, I will also see if replacing the knock sensor fixes any of those issues. I know sometimes the hood scoops cause water to get in there and corrode the connector. Thank you!

Hello all, I got my car back from the shop after trying to diagnose some false knock and feedback knock issues. I was originally on a cobb stage 2 OTS tune but have recently put an e tune on the car. It runs much better now but I am still getting -12 feedback knock between 2000 and 3000 rpm. I have attached a log of a 3rd gear WOT pull where this happened. Outside of this range the car is awesome but its this range that is being a pain. The shop said that it could be the car picking up valvetrain noise as "knock" thus causing the car to pull timing in that region. Is there anyway to make the the knock sensor less sensitive in that specific region? Any advice is welcome as I am new to this whole thing.

Hello all this is my first post within this forum so hopefully I do this correctly. I am currently having this issue where between 2000 and 3000 rpm I will see around -12 sometimes less of feedback knock on my accessport V3. Within this range also, my AF correction is all over the place like -+25 or so. Outside of this rpm range, the car runs fine 0 knock or anything. I have taken it to a shop and had the coils and plugs done with OEM subaru coils and NGK plugs. The shop believes it might be some noise coming from the drivers side valve train causing this issue but my question is why when it is cold does the noise not exhibit itself but when its warm it does make this ticking noise? I realize subarus make some noise which is confusing me as to why the car thinks its knock. Another theory I have is that an injector is going bad and causing this AF correction non sense and "knock". The car passed the compression test and there is no rod bearing material in the pan or the oil. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
