My brother has a 2004 Tahoe z71 with the 5.3 vortec that over the past year or so has developed a heavy misfire under load like pulling a trailer or sometimes just pulling away from a stop quickly. He thinks its a knock sensor is bad, he replaced one about 2 years ago but he thinks he may have pinched a wire for one of the knock sensors when he reinstalled the intake manifold. Would one dead knock sensor cause misfire on an engine under load? Personally i dont think the sensor is his problem but he swears up and down that it is
