After replacing both knock sensors, all instrument indicators were maxed out.
After turning the key, instruments returned to normal. Then, after turning the key, engine would start and run for about a second and then stall out. Pressing on the gas pedal has no effect.
Thank you.

Hello,

Your going to have to go through your work and check everything wiring wise. Check that any ground wires were reconnected, any harness plugs are proper and fully clipped into place etc. Something you disconnected isn't connected properly for this to have happened.

This guide can help as well

We should run the codes as well

Please run down these guides and report back.
