After the car is warm the car stalls if youlet off the gas and its throwing 2 knock sensor codes and the sensors are reading less than 2 volts could this be the stalling/dieng problem i keep hearing mixed emmotions please help
P0325, P0330 are both knock sensor codes that are detected by your ECU. Considering that you are showing both codes indicates that your model trim level is either "Limited" or "Renegade" that will have a knock sensor for 2 banks (V6). Knock sensor errors will change the timing of your engine ignition and can lead to a drop in performance or worse, lead to engine stalling in order to save other components of your engine.
The common solution to remove knock sensor codes is to have the sensors replaced by an authorized mechanic; sometimes shorted electrical leads to the sensors are also a cause for the codes. Replacing the knock sensors will remove the prompting of P0325, P0330 and expect to find another fault as engine stalling is not always present with knock sensor error codes.
Hope this helps.
The knock sensors produce an ac voltage when vibrated by the engine block. The cars computer tests these circuit for opens in them and ****** the ignition timing when activated this causes the engine to die on V block engines there is two sensors.

The knock sensors either work or they don't. When they do not, the light comes on. All that a knock senor is is a piezo crystal that vibrates at the frequency that is comparable to engine "knock", and sends that yes/no signal to the ECU. There are 2 knock sensors, and both are bolted to each side of the engine interior walls, under each cylinder head. You have to remove both of the intake manifolds to access the knock sensors and their wiring.
Price to pay? My flat rate book suggests 3.7 hrs to change both. 3.7 hrs times your local labour rate, plus the price of the 2 sensors and/or wiring, and the price for the gaskets for the upper & lower manifolds. Depending on your location, you could quickly spend over $500.00.

The knock sensor threads into the side of the cylinder block.
INSTALLATION
The knock sensor threads into the side of the cylinder block in front of the starter.

Look for broke/ shorted wires on Crank sensor.. thanks
SOURCE: 2003 Jeep Liberty Stalls
thats correct, may have bad ecm (computer) or bad wire to crank sensor from ecm, also ive run into this problem and it was the new sensor i put in was no good and aftermarket,also cam sensor can do this, and also make sure the 5 volt feed wire is good,good luck hope this helps.
Testimonial: "It ended up being the cam sensor. Thanks for the info. Fixed it right up."

Replace the TPS sensor and your car will be fine.
Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction
What does that mean?
A knock sensor tells the engine computer when one or more of your engine's cylinders are "knocking", that is, exploding the air/fuel mixture in a way that delivers less power and can be damaging to the engine if prolonged. The computer uses this information to tune the engine so that it doesn't knock. If your knock sensor wasn't operating properly, so that it was always indicating a knock, the engine computer's response may have been to change the ignition timing on your engine. Knock sensors generally bolt into or thread into the engine block. This P0325 code may show up intermittently or the Service Engine light may be lit constantly. Other knock sensor related DTC codes include P0330.

Symptoms
You may notice drivability problems including a lack of power and perhaps some hesitation. There may also be other symptoms.
Causes
A code P0325 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:
