hey guys i saw on the GD forum that they are selling knock sensors for 89 bucks +shipping just to help out if u are in need of one go to any parts store and tell them that u just went to O'Rileys in mandeville, LA 70471 and got a quote for a knock sensor for 92 bucks it will come up to like 100.04 and u dont have to wait i got mine in stock and a friend went to advanced autoparts and got his the same way...so go out and get rid of the damn CEL light, and make a civic or whatever gets next to u think twice about messin with a maxipad again , and yes as u can tell i am playing my violin but gonna try to help whomever i can

 

KS wont activate the CEL/SES on its own

 

I don't think stores in MA will likely pricematch from LA. link to thread in GD?

 

From time to time they come up for $68 on Ebay. I just bought one for $68 shipped. The deals are out there!!

 

ur right it uses the o2 sensor to trip it and retard ur timing

 

wait..
A bad knock sensor will cause the o2 sensor to trip the CEL? I'm getting error codes 0304 and 0303, knock sensor and front left o2 sensor. Do I really have a bad o2 sensor or will replacing the KS fix it?

 

Um... no. A bad KS will not trip an O2 code, but the converse is true, where a bad O2 might give a ghost KS code.

 

Replace the o2 sensor first. Then reset the ECU and . Check for the codes in the few days - if you get ONLY the 0304, its time for a new KS.

 

Wrong .... it will retard your timing regardless of ANY other code.

 

E-bay sounds like the route to go. I've also got a ks code and and egr code as well 0302, 0304. Which code should I persue first?

 

EGR code first.

 

Hopefully I Wont Need One Anytime Soon.
