Yes.. When you accelerate/speed the engine up, the timing should always start advanceing and then retard as engine speed starts down. That is what the knock sensor does, Retards the timing. The sensor itself may be shorted are grounded. That could very well be your problem. You got to start somewhere.
Don't forget to CHECK your fuel filter.... And fuel pressure... This can cause your problem too. It would be rear helpfull for US to answer your question BETTER If we new the year and engine size and what your working on would be nice. Thank you for asking.

That depends on the year of the vehicle. The newer 350's have a "knock sensor" that's supposed to sense fuel pre-ignition and briefly retard the timing during periods of heavy acceleration. If THAT'S what's wrong, just replace the knock sensor.
