yea well my FDs almost done and i just have some small problems to work out. Now Im getting down to pluging everything in, and i can't seem to find the connectors for the knock sensors. what would you guys recommend if there actually for some stupid fukin reason missing ?

 

why would they be missing? I can take some pictures of the knock sensor on my engine and connectors if you'de like. Anything to make it easier but then youll owe me big time!

 

There is only one knock sensor, has a sigle wire connector which is located under the alternator (rear of).

 

uhh, nah theres 2 , one for each housing above the spark plugs ... yea mister ///M man take some pics !

 

i thought the rear rotor was the only one that had a knock sensor.. or was it the front rotor... hrmm.

 

I'm pretty sure stock only the front rotor housing comes with a knock sensor. Are you saying to are trying to plug up 2?

 

Front rotor only.

 

wtf ? uh im pretty sure that theres a 2nd hole in my rear housing for it , wow

 

there is a second hole, but there is no knock sensor that comes stock there

 

there is only one...you can screw it in either hole.

I had a hard time finding my plug too...it comes over the top from the approx. solenoid rack area...it isn't off the side harness like you'd think. I had to take my UIM off again to find the damm thing...

that stuff in the 2nd rotor is for oil pressure sensor and another oil tube that comes out

the front has the knock sensor
maybe you can see it in this pic zoom in

 

alright, so there should be two holes there, one for either rotor, now if the ones not plugged , it wont leak at all right ? i have 2 sensors so i can just keep both in there and only plug one in if the rear rotor housing will leak because of it. thanks surge and everyone else for the responses

 

there is no passage way behind the sensor. if you take it out...nothing will leak...the threads go to no where. the knock sensor is a microphone and basically listens "through" the threads...it doesn't touch any fluids of any kind

very good, now another question, is it safe to leave the hoses off that go from the LIM to the intake and the air pump to the intake ?

 

There is only a white wire to the knock sensor(1) and that is the only sensor. It connects to pin 3M on the ECU.

As far as the hoses, I tell everyone to hook them back up. After you are sure the engine is in and running right, then tinker with removals and block-offs. This will save you in the long run with tunning and adjustments.

Just my 2 cents.

what size hose is that then, do you know ? i couldnt find out the sizes for those two..
