hi,
i have 1995 GT that likes to do the same thing,
including sever spark knock and check engine light,
had a local garage check it out with a high dollar
snap on computer, came up with EGR valve codes,
egr valve seems to have limited movement,
hope this helps you, i am going to try and clean mine
and see if i can get it to move properly again,

I ended up cleaning the electrodes in the mass
air flow sensor, all problems went away,
the electrodes were filthy black, looked like soot
was coating them, always stock air box and fram filter.
used Q tip soaked in carb cleaner, didnt spray directly
on sensor, good luck.
