car has been a little hesitant when i step on the gas and just feels slugish to me but i have no codes. im trying to find out if disconnecting the ks will turn on the check engine light or damge something. i was thinking of just disconnecting it because if its not working it shouldnt make a difference but if it is working then ill be able to tell wether it is working or not.

 

Well I thought that the ecu sees it's signal... So then it would probably run in safe mode unconnected. I say... if you are over 150k you should replace it since it's gotten so much attention from our model car. I purchased mine off of ebay for about 60-70. And yea, when i need to get on the gas, i can now. When the knock sensor is bad it feels like you are running a four cylinder civic.

 

i wanted to determine if it needs replacing. i know itll run in safe modeif its bad, but if its already running in safe mode now......there shouldnt be a difference if i disconnect it right?

 

will any 4th gen ks fit in my 95

 

no, it should not cause a change if you are disconnecting a failed KS

yes, unless you are cali-spec, but i doubt you are becuase its rare

KS will NOT TRIP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

 

All A32 knock sensors are the same, only difference is the procedure on how to change them (re:99's)
