Default Taking Camaro out of storage 94 LT1

Hey Guys, its been awhile. I'm just taking the camaro out from a long winter. Car started up beautifully first try. My SES light comes on every now and then but goes away..its giving me code 43 for the knock sensor. I checked the voltage at the connector and that was good. Im thinking its the plugs since its the same plugs i cleaned up and put back in after my opti went (changed my opti at the end of summer/fall). For storage i changed the oil, filled up with premium with mixed in satbil. Just wanted your guys opinion on the whole SES light coming on and off and if you recommend putting Dry Gas into my first fill up to get rid of any moisture. Also any suggestions on some good plugs?? Ive been using AC-Delco platinum plugs but they are 7$ a pop. Any suggestions would be great!!

-Rob

ngk55 and bosch +4, but they are spendy as well. i like to use the longer lasting plugs so i dont have to change them to often. have u changed the fuel filter? if so did u dump the contents to see if there was water in it?

Sorry not to hijack the thread but how often should you change the plugs? I've been told every 100k miles, but that seems a little high.

the simple answer is when they go bad. lol. alot depends on the quality of the plug. platinum or irridium plugs last longer so u can go for much longer before changing but are more sensitive to fouling. probly pushing it but on a properly operating motor yes u could go 100k with the right plugs.

Ya i changed the fuel filter before storage as well. I might just stick with the platinum ac delco plugs but will look into the ngk55 and bosch +4
