2006 Tahoe, 5.3. I got a CEL a few months back that the knock sensors were a pending code. Replaced them today and now the truck won't start.

I'm getting the following codes.

P0068 Powertrain
P0107 Manifold Pressure/Barometric Pressure circuit low input
P0332 Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Low Input, Bank 2

The truck only cranks and no start. The DIC says "Reduced Engine Power".

So I'm wondering if I forgot to plug something back in, but I've triple checked and there are no loose wires or connectors.

Any suggestions?
Thanks guys!

That's exactly what happened. And yes, I'm a dumbass. I'd surely starve if I had to make a living as a mechanic!

hey at least you have a scanner to read and then clear codes. so many dont have even the cheapest of scanners.

Thanks. And yes, my OBD scanner is in my center console.

Just for grins I thought I'd show a pic of the old sensors next to the new ones.

true I was having intermittent transmissions problems once, stupid trans would error out and sit dead in the water (no go), clear the code and you could go again until it would error out again, my little actron stays in the truck at all times now
