The reason it doesn't go off is because the problem that cause the codes is still there. Knock sensors, it seems. What repairs if any did you do? Are you using low octane gas, or cheap/bad gas? Try putting a good brand of high test in your gas tank and see if this helps. Otherwise, it appears you'll need to replace your knock sensors. These are important...they help retard your engine's timing so it doesn't detonate. I wouldn't drive the car without this issue being fixed.
