I went to auto zone because (cel) was on they said the code was for a bad Knock sensor. So I looked in the haynes manual and got a ohm meter from work and checked it for continuity and that said it was fine which one should I believe. Also checked prices, they are high in my area is there somewhere you can buy them cheaper than 160-180.

thanks for any help

Get it from ebay, courtesy nissan (not sure of site), or http://www.nissandealer.com/jerry-rome/part_catalog.cgi with "maxima" promo code. If you do replace it here's how: http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/507, http://www.skippynet.com/maxima/knocksensor.htm.

No, it's not just your KS. KS on it's own will NOT trip a CEL. Get your codes read again so you don't have to needlessly replace your KS if in fact, the ECU is throwing the code because something else is malfunctioning.

I would simply reset the computer and wait to see if it happens again...occasionally, there are fake codes thrown...I NEVER replace a part or try to diagnose until I get a code twice.

good luck!

Here's how to check yourself and reset http://vbxmaxima.8m.com/ecu.html.

was the computer reset?
if it was, then change the KS -- I hear that Yoshi is a good seller.

did as you said and got a code 0505 which said there was no problem
did 3 time with same result. should I wait for a while and check again a few days later since auto zone got one thing and I got another

I thought the knock sensor code was 0304?

0325 code is what you get if you use the scanner wich is a bad knock sensor
