Answer -
HI IS THE ONLY CODE THE KNOCK SENSOR?
WELL WITH A BAD KNOCK SENSOR U MAY HAVE A INTERMITANT IDLE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WILL RETARD THE TIMING AND CHANGE THE INJECTOR PULSE WIDTH...IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT HTE EGR VALVE IS GETTING BAD.. FIRST CHECK FOR MORE CODES AND WE WILL HAVE TO FIX THE CODE ONES FIRST. GET BACK TO ME

Answer
hi the starter isnt the problem if the car is stalling and reving high they also cleared the codes when they disconected the battery. a starter will not cause a high rev either a vacume leak somwhere or a sensor giving a improper reading i would talk to them to make sure they know the symptoms.
