Check engine code #5
 
Okay, after doing the hose job my car is giving me the check engine code #5 for Knock Sensor.

The forum has been great helping me get the nerve to take on the enormous task of the hose job. Now I call upon the sages once again.

I know the knock sensor is located above the spark plugs on the 1st rotor. Is there a special plug on the wiring harness that I forgot to reconnect? I noticed a hesistation when accelerating that wasn't there before.

What does the plug look like and where does it connect?

The connector is located between the alternator and the UIM/T-body joint, underneath the vacuum hoses/check valves.

You should be able to see if it is plugged in by using a flashlight and perhaps a screwdriver or needle-nosed pliers to move the vacuum lines out of the way.

It is a bitch to get to, to connect or disconnet, even with a couple of sets of needle-nosed pliers.


Good luck
