well i just recently picked up a fd that has a single turbo upgrade and a pfc among other things. i am in the process of getting a wideband to look over the tune. one of the things that stood out to me was that i get almost no knock response. now i guess that is a good thing but i have read on this section of people getting readings from their drivetrain etc. the highest reading i have got so far is 7. i have not really beat on it but done a few partail roll ons in 2nd and third to about 5k rpm. just wondering if maybe my knock sensor is on its way out or if this is normal.

 

up the timing and see if it knocks more, you'll soon know if the sensor is working

 

That's like saying "put the gun to your head and pull the tigger to see if it is loaded".

 

check the fsm it tells you how to test the knock sensor.

 

thx, ill look into doing that

 

That is the MOST stupid thing i have EVER read on this forum

 

haha oh calm down
but more often that not knock sensors do work and they dont tell lies
however the CEL wont come if the knock sensors are unplugged or faulty

 

FD code 05---Open or short circuit conditions. CEL memorized.
