    sounds like false knock, car needs to have the regular maintenance done first. It doesn't sound like the car is not operating as it should so you need to figure out the vibrations and check the ses lights first.

    guessing is pointless when the ses light will at the very least will tell you where to start. Didn't mean to be rude earlier either

    5+ kr stock seems normal to me.

    Though vibrations arent normal and make sure you are running 91+ pump gas.


    6ish psi stock is normal too, get a real gauge and do a smoke test on the vacuum lines to rule out vacuum leaks.

    Stick with delco plugs if stock.

    Duralast wires should be fine, or see if the carry delco wires too.
