Just thought i would add that i am having trouble with my S13 aswell, the motor was swapped out by the previous owner and i get some stutters and jerks under boost but all seems fine in boost, but i checked my ECCS for errors thanks to Daniels tip and i found it gave me the Knock Sensor error 34

Hi Grobblere, how does the knock sensor connect? If i look at my knock sensor i can just see a plastic tube coming out of it with an O-ring around it, i cant see any wire coming out of it and i cant see any plug laying loose in the area, i just have 3 loose wires, will take some pics in the morning, but if i had to buy a knock sensor from you would it come with a plug or anything? or do i need to just take my knock sensor out and some how wire it again. Im more than prepared to buy one if neccesary.
Thanks

This is how it connects, with 1 little wire with a plastic connector, but you can just get a round lugg.

Well ive got good news on my part, i reconnected my Knock sensor with a extended cable and a terminal clip on the spade inside and i ran the diagnostic again and my error code has dissapeared, with the car running it repeats 55 over and over again Woohoo, i have yet to test drive it but theres a major difference in throttle response from idle.
Thanks Grobblere!

yes timing is a bitch as i have found out.
when i got my sx it ran fine and one day it started to stuter under boost and so on so i checked timing marks and boost leaks all and all checked out but what i did not check was the advance and retarded timing.
Got a timing light and set it to spec and gone was all my problems.
Gees i even went as far to check if it was my CAS.
So Check your timing it is important and makes a huge impact on the runnig of the engine
