If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I was having a knock issue...7*....Torrie McPhail knew it was false, but I needed it back to zero so I can monitor on my WOT runs. He shared the link for this with me.

Today, I followed the diagrams step by step and found the driver's side knock sensor wires chaffed. I put a dab of rtv on the exposed wires and once it dried, I taped them up. It's tight working in there but it's fixed.

On my test drive, no knock. Ok, I had a hair, but I am on the stock tune with 87 in the tank. I can assure you that with my 93 Torrie tune, it runs cleaner. Whats even better, the trans that I thought had a bad torque converter shudder is fine. No more shudder. It was the knock sensor wires that were shorting, causing the knock and in turn causing the car to miss. It was an ignition miss not a transmission shudder. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this in making this an easy fix.
