it is a knock sensor issue. it could be the wiring, connector or the sensor itself.
if you have a scan tool, monitor the timing and then tap on the top of the motor with a hammer and it should retard 4 degrees.

Knock sensor is new, would the diagnostic test read a bad knock sensor? Like show up as knock sensor?

Its already retarding at 4degrees too

a code number never identifies a bad part, just a failed system.
if the timing is 4 retarded, disconnect the sensor and see if it advances to where it should be.
