Definitely sounds like loose ground somewhere. Or maybe a halfgone fuse

 

disconnect the fuse for the stereo power wire, that way amp/and power wire stop getting juice. then start checking all the engine grounds. then check behind the radio. maybe something is shorting out.

i am with others, electrical issue, possible ground problem, or short somewhere.

 

well it's confirmed..... my knock sensor is completely severed ... i can see the wire dangling... it is on order

as for the electrical, I will do as you guys say.. first i will check all the fuses.. then I will check to see if there are any wires that could have possibly shorted out...


thanks for the suggestions guys...
