Ok, story goes, I had a leaky fuel injector. I replaced it, did new fuel lines, and all new vacuum lines, new FPD.

Some time during the teardown/rebuilding process, I broke a plug off its wire somewhere. I couldnt find it, so I put it all back together and figured the CEL would flash off the code if it was something critical. It did. It flashed 5 times, for Knock Sensor.

Where does the knock sensor's wire go? Because mine is still plugged in at the block. The wire I broke off is a round plug, with a single square contact in the middle. Is this part of the knock sensor's wire, like where it plugs into the harness or something? Also, if it is, is there a way around tearing the UIM/Throttle body/Intake pipes off, and instead rewiring it straight from the sensor to the ECU, or a different part of the wiring harness? Any help is appreciated, TIA.

 

If your knock senor wire is broken you will need to get a new one. That wire can not just be spiced, redone and what not. IT plugs into the harness around the oil filler neck and the ps pump.

 

What does the plug that comes off of the knock sensor look like? Is it like the O2 sensor and have a wire come straight out of the knock sensor, and terminate in a plug, that then plugs into the harness? Or is there a plug that goes ON the knock sensor? I need to know where this plug came from.

 

Ok found a pic of the knock sensor, but its too blurry to really see any details. I still need to know what the plug coming off the sensor looks like, and what it plugs into.
