Some aftermarket clutches produce a lot of racket. The knock sensor may hear this.

As for fuel cut, I don't think the knock sensor would be involved. Fuel cut occurs at too many revs or too much air.

A DSM I once owned had a loud lifter. Eventually this got so bad the knock sensor would pull all the timing all the time. Then my car had trouble developing enough power to pull away from a stop sign. Are you sure you are experiencing fuel cut?

Ignition will sometimes break down at WOT but work fine the rest of the time. You might look for bad plug wires.

My lousy fitting aftermarket DP rattles which causes the lights on my KnockLink to twinkle a bit.

What are the mods on your car and what model/year is it?
