Do you have water in your Gas?
You can disconnect the battery for ten minutes to reset the Cels but you should get a code reader first.
What type of knock?
Re-check your install. Plug may be loose.
Update your profile for where you live. Then a local club member can help you.

So basically if your car's date of first sale (or in-service) is August 4th 2006 or later AND your mileage is under 100,000, then you can take your car to a dealer for a compression test and to see if they will authorize a warranty replacement. Expect to get challenged for maintenance records, and expect a hassle if you have any aftermarket modifications installed when you bring it there. Your out of pocket cost will be somewhere between $0 and $500, depending on the specific dealer and what all work you opt-in for.
Works just like all other car warranties.
