I am removing my Knock Sensor and I have done the hard part, i got it out from under the manifold but I cant get the damn sensor out of the harness its not the snap on and off kind like all the other plugs on the car what is the god damn trick. there is a little metal poll that runs along the outside that stops it from comming out what do I do?

 

yeah that can be frustrating...you will see that little piece of metal it looks like a staple..that will need to be taken out with a little pick or a hook will do it.do not lose it ,slide it back in after new sensor is on the harness and your good.

 

thanks I figured it out.

 

And WOW am I glad that I replaced that ****er. Now I have power below 3grand!

 

welcome to the brotherhood.

 

power below 3 grand i did NOT get after replacing the knock sensor. i don't think it did $hit to be honest. i think my trans is goin out, its slow to shift going up hills. any ideas people??? sorry about the thred theft, i need some help with this. thanks to anyone in advance.....

 

It's a stringy lil ****er isn't it. Without it the car runs like ****.

 

ahahahhahahaha....count me in.

Max ride,

I'm assuming you're running 93 octane, have done an injector cleaning & the TB & IAC is clean... Power returning from a KS change will only really be felt if you are also using the highest octane you can find....even then, it may take a couple of week of routine driving. (yeah...you might want to start a new thread with all the details.)

A last thing to look at is adjusting the throttle positioning sensor.

 

Well i had the knock sensor code for about a year, have always run the lowest octance. decided to change the little f*ck yesterday and it pulls a lot harder.... still with 87 octane. like its rediculous...the tires havent broken loose on dry pavement for the past year until now

 

Good job changin that KS!! (listening Max Ride?)

Do the other stuff mentioned and THEN run the good gas for the rest of your ownership with the car and you'll have little to worry about.

 

my 95 threw that knock sensor code at me the other day i had to change an injector i got it deleted now the light went out what yall think??? will it come back

 

Yes.

 

If you continue to use $h***y gas it will probably throw the code again. At least that has been my experience.
