A knock sensor code could be an EC?M problem, and the cause of your condition, or the result of the rway it is running.
Check fuel pressure, ignition timing, take a fuel sample to see if maybe contaminated.

An oxygen sensor is not very likely. Nor is temp sensor.
And you should have codes for them if they were the problem.
A fuel sample in a glass jar would show some seperating betwen the gas and any contamination, after it sits for a 1/2 hour or so.
