my radiator fans never kicked on, and i finally cracked my radiator trying to get home today (overheating badly)..... my fans dont kick on and i never found out why....... is this plug have something to do with those fans??? this is the VE motor

 

monies on knock sensor

 

i thought knock sensor was on rear of the motor....... this is near the front..... it is part of the wiring harness...not the motor.. it is a plug.... i just dont see what it goes to.. th car runs without it, but i thought it was somethign to do with my radiator fans b\c they dont work at all

try changing your coolant temp sensor.

ok, where is the KS located at???? so maybe i can find a plug that is unused

 

ok, i looked on the online FSM... and it says the knock sensor sub harness..... where is the sub harness located??

 

Just look for the matching end of that plug in that area....It's there, just loooooooook...

 

now, i guess when my motor warms up, i shouldnt have that little loss of power from when it is cold to when it is hot??

 

Well right now you have a whole bunch of power loss with a crappy tranny..fix it first,then worry about the plug...

 

and my radiator has a foot long crack in the top plastic peice....

 

Hope you didn't break teh motor

 

it still runs fine..........

 

knock sensor is located on the top of the block, below the intake manifold and coolant crossover pipe (the valley between the heads).



Also check and clean the coolant temp sensor connectors on the manifold and test them.

 

That wire is for connection to the subharness coming from the knock sensor under the manifold. The other end usually is attached to a sheet metal mount attached to the front of the thermostat housing. The subharness snakes out from under the manifold below where the temp sensor or fuel pressure regulator sit. Perhaps someone yanked out the subharness or bypassed the knock sensor. If the knock sensor is not attached and you are not using premium, this could be a factor in your overheating.

 

if only Wiking was here.. he would post nice pictures of diagrams showing where everything is.

the accesories like power steering and alty are located on the front side of the motor. the plug you are inquiring about is on the rear.


edit: what's with the pink bracelets??

 

dont ask about them....... i looked for the KS harnes, and i cannot find it.. i remember taking that little mount that the KS harness was hooked to, but i dot know what i did with it....

 

They're sex bracelets depending on the color when someone snaps it off you then you do a certain sexual act or kiss or something like that...heard about it from friend a while back...or maybe he's just deep down....OR thats his girlfriends hand.

 

the girlfriend with "man hands???" LOL!!!!

 

retarded kids.. next they'll have std bracelets. everytime you test positive for a new std, you have to wear the indicating color. red for aids, green for gonorrhea, ect..

 

lol yea pretty much...damn greasy **** head teenagers..

 

HA HA!!!!
