So I am fueling on a cold day here in St. Louis on Sat. and I left the car on...about 3/4 of the way full the car shuts it self off. The check engine light/vdc/slip light all come on. I restarted the car and it took about 5 or 6 second to start. When it finally turned over I drove to where I was going. It sat there for about 2 hours and it restarted w/ no probs(except cel was still on). Today I was accelerating pretty hard...heard/felt a jerk...vdc/slip came back on (cel was still on from before). Felt a slight loss in power for a moment. When I arrived at my destination I tried restarting...heard the noice of my engine trying to turn over...started after 5 or 6 second. Got autozone to obd-II the car...PO325 code pops up...KNOCK SENSOR. Is thiS sensor bad or is there just air in the system from my car being on while fueling? Any other ideas what to do?

Thanks in advance for imputs

 

try resetting your CEL.

very likely could be air in the lines causing issues. don't leave your car running while filling with gas again

Why would you leave the car running while filling up? That's pretty dangerous lol...

 

It's because the car was running while the gas cap was off. You'll be fine.

 

Happened to me in my mom's lexus rx300 in new york. Wasn't snowing, but the car was jerky for a little bit. The lights on the dash came on and the problem went away before the next fill up.

 

I recently had the same problem with my car. what did you end up having to do to fix the problem? any help would be great. I'm stranded and my car cranks and wont start. also, is there anybody in the west covina, ca area with an OBD II that I can use to see if any codes pop-up

 

I'm sorry but that's just stupid, it's dangerous you never know what might ignite while your pumping gas. yes it's RARE but it could happen, you put your life and many others in risk and IMHO you deserve the problem your going through

 

reset the ECU. if you dont know how, SEARCH. its all over the place.

P0335 is the Crank sensor code if thats what you're getting. I dont know why the fuel system tripped that code of all codes.
