Out of hibernation, issues abound.

Car's been sitting on a maintainer for most part of a year. I pulled her out, dead battery , jump her I get P0332 w/ restricted performance. Battery's beyond saving, so new battery installed w/ same codes, I do a hard reset, codes remain I can't even clear them via Torque Pro & dongle.
Now there is a small coolant leak somewhere as I lose a few ounces every few monthes. I was hoping it was just the leak & sitting had fouled the knock sensor to clear after drying etc. This leak's baffled 3 shops via pressure test etc. but is has to be in the KS' vicinity ?!
Guess I'm off to hunting a KS & leak ?!

One mystery leak I once had was losing very small quantity of water via a deformed head gasket and the engine just burned some water. Took head off and yes, ONE very clean cylinder ! Nowadays, some cars also have water injection like in WW2 plane engines ...

She may be leakin' but she's freakin' beautiful.14 hours after filling "low coolant light" was on again ?! I checked it cold, not even an inch down from full. I jiggled the sensor w/ my finger the light went off & hasn't returned as of yet. I washed her up, then cleaned my knock sensor out w/ some clever bamboo skewer & microfiber handiwork. Took her out for some spirited sprints to dry everything out. Zero error lights, smooth sailing (I mean it is a land yacht) There's definitely a coolant leak but good to know my KS isn't shorted (yet).
