Hey, just hoping to get a little insight on my new-to-me car. Knock sensor started going off a few tanks ago, so I have added fuel injector cleaner (one btl.) then I've been using octane boosters in succeeding tanks. Now it is bogging down on occasion when at lower speeds and lower rpm.
I am thinking fuel injector problem, but also, there is loud whistling whine that is noticeable when I accelerate hard (as in passing another car) or accelerate uphill. Also, the knock sensor and the bogging only seem to happen after I have driven the car above 60 mph for a while (longer than 20 min).
I am not much of a mechanic, but my friend is. I'd like some thoughts on where to point him. As of this post, the only code is the knock sensor.

Thanks guys, glad to hear no one thinks its dying. It is a 97 legacy with about 222,219 miles, driven in AK. Clearly has been beaten up, but has a good heart. Thanks for the inputs!
