When I drive it and its okay but when I drive it at least 15 mins it start to make that knocking engine sound but when I turn the wheels it stop what does that mean? The check engine light came on and I scanned the code is P0325. They say if I change the knocking sensor that noise will go away is that true I haven't touch anything yet and haven't been driving it too cause of the knocking sound

The knock sensor picks up knocks then retards the timing so you don't damage engine due to pre-ignition/detonation. If it kocks all the time have a local pro look at it for other type of damage.
