It means the EZK is detecting something abnormal and has probably retarded the timing as much as possible. It could be timing is off, the ignition wires need to be replaced (RF can interfere with knock sensor), the insulation shielded wires to the knock sensor has deteriorated and knock sensor or EZK failure. I would check at night to see if there are any stray sparks from the ignition wires. A little moisture from a spray bottle helps find electrical leakage. This happened twice on my 87 900S. Then check distributor cap and knock sensor wires. Bentley's has a good method for testing. I hope this helps
