Is it just one?
Thanks

 

yes, 1 knock sensor

 

And thank goodness for that.

 

uno


wow, we answered this already, but another can't hurt...

 

hey spaniard, after you change that ks, are you going to make some autocross vids?

 

1 knock sensor, 1 maf, 6 spark plugs, 1 oil filter, 2 o2 sensors, 1 fuel filter.



someone else is bound to ask in here before long..

 

then tell me why i have three o2 sensors...

 

You must have the limited edition Maxima like me, I also have three.

 

haha...im driving an infiniti bro.

 

well most have 2 no?

 

incase you were still thinking about the o2 sensors...
here is a catalog pic of the A32
from www.courtesyparts.com

 

hehhe....this shouldnt even be a discussion...

 

cali spec?

 

How many wheels does the 4th gen max have? >.>

 

nope...fed.

 

see... someone did even try to argue it.. front + rear.

 

I got a track vid that I need to post from last weekend. What I find kind of interesting is that fact that the car did pretty well with the ghost KS code at the track....(Just found out about it today)

The KS issue might have been helped by the fact that I was running 95 octane..?

 

No. You could run 100 octane and that wouldn't help the problem. With a bad KS the timing is being pulled regardless...

 

i have 5 like most cars, 4 on the ground and 1 in the trunk.

 

i dont carry my spare like an idiot.

 

Are you saying that for daily driving you don't carry a spare tire. If so, my suspicions are confirmed: You, sir, are an idiot!

 

Just for saying that, I hope you get a flat. I dont know where all you people get your info from but all US 4th gens have AT LEAST 3 o2 sensors. I dont care if you are cali or fed.

 

95 octane and still a ks code? my ks went bad from 89 octane, but now i use 93 and not a problem. they dont have anything higher than 93 around where i live, unless out in long island.

neways the book recommends at least 91 octane. how many miles do you have? a bad 02 could probabley trigger it off

 

How does using a lower octane gas make a knock sensor go bad?

 

Car knocks more so sensor is abused by vibrations?

 

i was kidding about the idiot thing...with the current gas prices you would want ur car as light as possible too.
not really..just havent found the time to do it...besides...not like i even have a jack to change a tire...also...i got one of those fix a flats...wonder if it really works...

 

Car knocks more yes and knock sensor is constatly detecting knock. There is a message on your fuel door for a reason. Why wouldnt u use premium?

 

because people think they are saving money by using cheap gas, when it will just hurt their engines and cost them quite a bit more ...

Also, yes, we all have 3 knock sensors, though only two affect engine performance/A-F mixture

 

 

The vibartions given out by detonation or pre-igntion are very slight compared to 100's of other vibrations your engine bay gets.

You would never, ever know if using lower octane gas caused a knock sensor to go bad. It would just be a guess, and a bad one IMO.
