I finished my swap and everything is perfect, just my damn knock sensor is throwing a code, anyone know where i can get one cheap, the freakin dealer wants like 150 for it, i bought one off ebay but is bigger than the one on my engine, I have a Jdm H22A1 engine, all stock , just headers , stock ecu also. any help would be appreciated
pics coming soon.
ohh or is there a way to bypass the knock sensor without chipping the ecu
naz..
thanx
 
you can ground the knock from the ecu and vtec will work.. it'll still throw the code though
 
no problem with the vtec, it still works with the code thrown, but the thing is that the car only throws the code when the car is warmed up and then the car goes into limp mode, i can feel the power difference. So do you think if i ground it it will still work.

???

if the knock sensor isnt connected you lose power? where is it located? is it that plug on the rear of the motor on like the middle right side (facing the engine hood poped)
 
the knock sensor is located on the back of the engine under the oil filter, well for my engine anyways, jdm H22A1 , caus ei heard on other engines its above the oilt filter..

your knock should be above the oil filter, near the head.. the one below the oil filter is the oil pressure sender maybe, .. something like that.. check and see if you have above teh oil filter, right under the intake mani.


this pic is of a b18c, but it should be in a similar location.. i think you have it plugged in the wrong spot
