There is a guy selling brand new in the nissan box, knock sensors for 64 bucks with free shipping!
Thought it was a good deal, checked the P/N and it is the correct one for 4th gens, did not check any others, I ordered one and will let everyone know if it's really as good a deal as it seems. This part is FAR more expensive from the stealer oops, I mean dealer.

yo i need one too.. lol hook me up
where can i get it? url?

 

its on ebay

 

i bought one from that same guy about a month ago. it really is a great deal compared to the $168 that autozone charges. im waiting till i do my 00vi later this month to change it.

 

This deal is always going on. He's had them for months. I think this is the 3rd or 4th thread I've read about this.

 

What does this do? I just bought an '03 and I dont know much about cars

 

Go check out the 5th gen section

 

Exactly as it states. Knock Sensor senses engine knock and tells the ECU how much ignition timing advance it can run. Bad knock sensor effect performance and gas mileage since the timing will be in a "safe mode" for timing.

 

i've a code for the knock sensor since i've had the car. it doesn't turn on the SES light though. i'll prolly get one very soon.

 

Doesnt a New O2 sensor improve gas mileage more so then say a Knock Sensor?

btw how many 02 sensors does a Max have?

 

cali specs i think have 4....and a bad knock sensor will hurt milage more than an o2.....the KS effects performance more so...

also the knock sensor code will only turn on teh CEL is there is another code along with it

 

i guess all my sensors are fine, since i have Zero Codes., but i do have 93K mileage now

 

Yes, I bought one of these a few weeks ago and mentioned it here on the board. Installation took about 15 min. and it works perfectly.

 

Just got done putting mine in. Took under 30 minutes. Easy to do with the right tools. Now to see if I can tell a difference...

 

I changed mine out...works just fine.

No difference either. Still getting 20mpg.


(egr problem - running rich and I'm also lead-footed...
