1994 KLZE with the funkiness here.

Everything is fixed, save for a vacuum leak we found a few days ago. But today something else popped up... a knocking sound when it idles. At first it wasn't too loud. But now it's pretty loud.

Any ideas as to what it could be? I haven't done the timing yet, so ...

I did the pick n pull trip last weekend-- the only KL was the DE I pulled the ...

Okay. Long story short, I bought the car with a high idle (should have been a red flag). Previous owners had chipped the ECU (stock or ZE is unknown at the moment) but hadn't adjusted the throttle position sensor. They gave me all the information I needed to do the adjustment but I don't trust ...
