I have a GS knock sensor he lets me know when some one is at the front door. Riley is my German Shepard great dog but he still will not ride under the hood when we go for a drive..
Hey Scotty is it possible a bad knock sensor on a 92 22re Yota can actually cause a detonation/knock sound(No diagnostic codes)? I tried pushing down on the pistons to check for bad rod bearings but seems ok.. Blowby is bad though.. : ( I eventually replaced the AFM after it was having major hesitation issues, but not before messin with the throttle body and installing a new tps(Calibration was/is a pain in the axx). The afm was the issue but now I'm having delayed shift issues and knock at higher rpms..? Meh..
About a year ago, I had to replace the knock sensor on our '02 Mercury Villager (Nissan Quest) 3.3L. It wasn't quite as easy as the vehicle in this video. :) Not difficult, just time-consuming.
love what you started here and the (replies too)! Far to many armchair-quarterbacks around looking to make themselves look smart and feel special, and you people are on here having fun and joking!
Thanks Scotty! Too bad the 2 knock sensors in my '95 Avalon aren't this easy to get to--I really hate to have to pull a perfectly working intake manifold to get to 'em--afraid when it's all back together the intake manifold will leak/won's seal up right.....
Hi Scotty! How to differentiate if the knock sensor needs replacement, or that it is perfectly functional - but simply can't compensate for the noise? Thanks!
Pulled the knock sensor off my 94 sierra k1500. Didnt realize it goes through the coolant. There was antifreeze everywhere. Dont know if this is the same for all cars, but if you dont know at least have a pan ready. It'll save you a big mess to clean up.
"Cross your fingers and start her up" that going to be me tomorrow when I change my knock sensors. I have an engine light and the car runs rough and turns on really rough as well. I'm hoping its that😂
always appreciate these guys, but it is always nice to hear the before engine running, and after....id like to know what the noise was, how the car sounded before, that got you to hook up the Code Reader??? Always a good help for early indicators....like....was the engine sounding like the Rockers where Clacking??? You know, would lead one to think ohhh heck something more catastrophic...but really the Knock censor was shorting the Engine, causing an out of Balance, and a scary resemblance to bearings or Rockers wear....i dont know....I got me a Knock....and guess what im going to check soon?.....Thanks Kilmer
@scottykilmer I see that you did a short video on replacing a bad nox sensor. However you didn't go into depth on just how important the nox sensor is. Many people just wouldn't think that it is too important and keep on driving on it. Can we get a thorough video on the Nox Sensor please?
Scotty can a bad knock sensore cause bucking? My light is on and it says the knock sensor is bad but just wondering if thats a possible symptom. Thank you 😊
That was one hell of a fire, with a nice rescue of that construction worker...... What is the knock sensor sensing? Mechanical movements, or gas air mixture?
it senses knocking sounds. so if pistons start knocking, it tells the computer. Of course if something is loose and knocks, it can also set it off (computers being as they are, only being able to understand 0 or 1.)
hey Scotty, how are you ?hope you are doing good .Your channel is just awesome !!! May I ask you to post a video on about how to fix SRS light on and what are the most common reason for that problem ?
@scottykilmer I mean if the Nox Sensor is uncovering a knock in your engine then couldn't that mean other things are actually wrong with your vehicle? What could they be? If the Nox Sensor trips then could there be engine damage already done?
Unfortunately, Scotty, on my 95 Volvo 850, you have to remove the intake manifold to get to it, along with a lot of other stuff. So it's a pain in the a$$. But I have to get it done because my smog check is coming up. Code 0331, Knock Sensor, Bank 2.
Scotty, love the video. Would you happen to know where the Knock Sensor is located on either a Toyota T100, Tacoma, or 4Runner? They all have the same engine or similar if i'm not mistaken
Scotty love your vids! I have an 2003 Chevy Impala 3.8 liter LS. I replaced the front knock sensor bank 1 behind the starter, I ned to replace the knock sensor behind bank2. I can't seem to locate it. Any hints or how to's for Bank 2? Please advise.
Hi Scotty, Jaco here from South Africa. Just want some guidance. I bought a 2004 Nissan Almera 1.6 Twincam from a working buddy. This car has been standing for about a year hut according to him they took the car to nissan to diagnose and they said its the Mass Airflow sensor. They went to buy another one from the scrapyard and fitted it but the problem was still on the car. Can it be that the computer threw away memory or what may the problem be? Symtoms of the problem is that it starts and revs are at about 2000rpms and as soon as it ran quite a long while and the engine is warm, the revs are jumping around between 1200rpms and 2000rpms. Thanx so much for an awesome channel
Hey Scotty I have a 2007 ford fusion se v6 and the moon roof wont open. There Is no noise from the moon roof when I press the switch. .The connector looked good at the switch I figure it could possibly be a bad fuse. if so where is the fuse located for the moon roof on a 2007 ford fusion se v6.The box is not labeled and I cant find anything on line for the life of me.

HEY THERE scotty i know this is the wrong video to post this question but I WAS WONDERING HOW DO I BLEED A 1996 INTEGRA GSR OBD2A V-TEC RADIATOR? I WAS TOLD THAT OBD2S DONT HAVE A BLEEDER FOR COOLANT SO AFTER FLUSHING THE RADIATOR AND RE FILLING IT I JUST TAKE THE CAP OFF TUN HEATER ON AND LET THE CAR RUN FOR 5-10 MINUTES THEN IT SHOULD BE GOOD? IS THIS CORRECT?
Hi Scott, I have a 2003 Range Rover v8 that has a bad knocking noice/sound coming from the engine. I have done an oil change yet it does not go away! Any recommendations on how I can eliminate that noice?
Hey I been watching your videos and they had help me alot. Now .. I just bought a 1998 Chevy astro and it has a service engine soon light. And I would like to kno if yu could help me out. and also the ac doesn't really work .. like when I turn it on it it only blows a lil bit and only from the front defroser the big vent that's in the dashboard
My car just started knocking last night it died 2 times I had to get two jumps it's knocking like a rod knocking but it's the knocking noise coming from the side where all the pulleys in the tensioner and the timing chain is what do you think it could be I have a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme dohc V6 twin cam
I have a 2006 Impala 3.9L. I'd been getting a Service Traction Control message for over a year. It would happen every time I punched it from a stop. When the message appeared, the car became grabby when taking off and shifting. Once it was shut off for about 10 seconds, it would clear and shift smoothly again. Yesterday, I was driving it on the freeway like the +200k beater it is. It did fine, but when I got off onto a residential street, it died at an intersection. I managed to restart it and limp it down to a driveway where it died again. After many cycles of cranking and dying, the battery went flat and I called AAA. I charged the battery at home and it started right up, but now the STC message won't go away, and it knocks like a hungry salesman. Of course, it still runs like crap. I got a camshaft position sensor error from my OBD scanner, but I don't think it could cause the knock I''m hearing. It increases with the rpms, whether the car is in drive, park or neutral.
hey Scotty i have a 99 Honda civic ex and i was wonder is there any difference in buying a cheap knock sensor and one from the auto store i found one on amazon for 20 bucks and i tried rock auto and found one for 60 buck and at the store the cost me 110 for a new one what is you opinion and whats the diffrence
Hi Scotty! Is it also this simple on a 2000 Toyota Avalon? Can you get to the knock sensor from the bottom of the car instead of going through the intake manifold?
How hard is this on a 2007 Toyota 4Runner? There are 2 in the engine and dealer wants $1,500.00 to do it?? I do lots of car work but never engine work? Please give me your opinion. Thank You
Scotty how many miles did that Impala have? That thing has been through a few wars. Also, would it hurt to put up some mesh around the knock sensor so that rocks and stones can't hit the knock sensor if it's down at the bottom of the motor?
Hi Scotty, My 2001 Maxima is knocking and I hope that if I replace the knock sensor it will sound better. But i'm not showing a P0330 code. Do you think i'm wasting my time since its a pain in the ass reach?
Scotty Kilmer, I've got an 02 S10 4.3. I bought the truck and drove it around a bit in town always under 50 mph. On the 4th of July we went to the lake and the moment I jumped on the highway at 65 mph the "service engine soon" light came on. The code was P0327 knock sensor. I have no issues with the truck. It drives fine. So I change the sensor and with the battery disconnected which I believe will reset the codes?? And the light was off after replacement completion. So I jumped back on the highway and the light came right back on. Do you have any troubleshooting tips? Thanks!
Austin Butler live with it, but the sensor is probably weak. It's a pain changing that sensor, and if it runs fine, you can leave it. But you will have to fix it for the next state inspection
Hi, Scotty I have an old car and the warning light on the dash doesn't work, so the car can't 'tell' me if the knock sensor's gone bad. Is there any way to test it whether it works or not?
Hey Scotty, autozone scanned for codes and told me I had codes P0300,P0303,P0306.. But a shop we took our 09 Accord to didn't say it had a P0303 that it had P0330 instead, is it possible the knock sensor is causing my random misfire? The shop claimed the camshaft bank #2 was worn due to lack of lubrication but I don't see how that would cause a random misfire, wouldn't it be somewhat constant? Later this week I am going to open it up and check for myself but I just wanted to see if there's other possibilities before doing so.
hey scotty i have a problem! my car is making a knocking sound at cold start it does away after 1-3 min! oil pressure is good, oil level is good, no check engine light, car runs normal as before, what can it be, bad lifters, rod bearing, piston slap? plz help thanks!
Can you tell me where the camshaft position sensor is on a 96 Toyota Camry 2.2L? I've looked all over the internet and I can't find anything on it but my sensors bad
Hi Scott how are you this is Colleen how can you please tell me how many knock sensor on a 2004 Chevy Impala with a 3.4 engine I would appreciate your help if you do so
Hey....first of all..love ya man! Second...where the hell is the knock sensor for 2015 accord exl v6?? Googled it and no luck. Btw.. code P0333 bank 2. Thank you!!
So how many knock sensors does a car has? My car gave me a check engine light that read Knock sensor bank 1 with the code P0325. is there any other knock sensors other that this one?
When I started on my 1995 buick century I heard a loud pop engine sputtered and died. Restarted would only stay on if I gave it throttle. Made it home hitting only right turns then looked under hood and heard vacuum leak. Knock sensor was off the fitting.. My guess is when I started the car it popped off? what causes this? About a week ago i used lucas fuel injector ad upper cylinder cleaner
scotty, i have a 2006 ford f150 5.4 4x4, i was having a code p0351, for coil pack cyl 1, anyway, i replaced it, and it seems to have fixed the poor idle, i cleared all codes, and drove it down the road and back, i have what feels like power loss, almost like something is holding the engine back, i hear pinging while accelerating,, i rescanned, even tho i do not have a check engine light, now i get a code for knock sensor, from what i understand, a bad knock sensor will do this,,,, also, if this is the problem, is this something a shop should handle, I am mechanical, but not a mechanic,, i do hvac for a living,,, please help! thank you!!
Hey scott.. this is off topic. If your window won't go up, what should i do? The window wants to go up, but it's making noise and just stays down. What should i do?
Hey scotty , i have a Mazda mpv lx and the oil pan gasket is leaking oil,plus a o2 sensor need to be replaced .we have blue smoke when we start the car.can we fix this ourself .thanks
blue smoke is serious, means the engine is burning metal and oil, often worn valve seals and or worn piston rings. You can't fix that yourself. The oil pan gasket and sensor you can do, but probably, engine is just flat wearing out.
Hello sir, I recently just replaced my knock sensor on my 99 es300, do you why the code always come back up after I reach around 4 thousand rpm? It works fine under 2-3000 but if it exceed 4000 the code p0330 will pop up it bothers me a lot.
I bought off brand knock sensors and they didn't work so now I'm noticing that the connectors are loose is there anyway that I can make them tighter without buying wire harness
Hey bud I have a 05 silverado with the 5.3 liter engine and I have the knock sensor code and have replaced both knock sensors and the wiring harness. Also have traced the wires as far as I can and can't find anything wrong? Any suggestions?
well, if wiring is good, either you got crappy non oem sensors, the main computer is shorted out for that circuit, or the engine is actually knocking and that sets the codes
hi scotty,my 2000 altima's check engine light keeps coming on and cant get inspection.i did get it read and says it needs p1126-thermostat/po325-knock sensor cir. malfunction. only thing is my car runs pretty good does it need both?

Thank you so much scotty!! You have helped me out so much over the years
2:30 EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas! Look at the size of that barbecue!
That aint a BarBQ . Thats just a Texas 420 Blunt.
Its a Godfather .
Meanwhile in Russia lol
love what you started here and the (replies too)! Far to many armchair-quarterbacks around looking to make themselves look smart and feel special, and you people are on here having fun and joking!
Thanks Scotty!
Too bad the 2 knock sensors in my '95 Avalon aren't this easy to get to--I really hate to have to pull a perfectly working intake manifold to get to 'em--afraid when it's all back together the intake manifold will leak/won's seal up right.....
This video was strait fire Scotty
I salute you scotty you seem very humble and kind. Live free my friend
"Then cross your fingers and start her up " lol thats what i think after i do maintenance on my car
NBS right all the time
You and me both 🤣🤣 praying to God as well lol
my biggest fear is the car will catch on fire or explode after i finish working on it
If you're still getting codes after replacing knock sensors and clearing with scanner try resetting the ECM/ECU that's what I found to work.
all the money we pay mechanics for a easy job thank Scotty
Hi Scotty! How to differentiate if the knock sensor needs replacement, or that it is perfectly functional - but simply can't compensate for the noise? Thanks!
Thank you!! I like that you made it soo simple!
Pulled the knock sensor off my 94 sierra k1500. Didnt realize it goes through the coolant. There was antifreeze everywhere.
Dont know if this is the same for all cars, but if you dont know at least have a pan ready. It'll save you a big mess to clean up.
"Cross your fingers and start her up" that going to be me tomorrow when I change my knock sensors. I have an engine light and the car runs rough and turns on really rough as well. I'm hoping its that😂
update?
Thanks for the video Scotty!
always appreciate these guys, but it is always nice to hear the before engine running, and after....id like to know what the noise was, how the car sounded before, that got you to hook up the Code Reader??? Always a good help for early indicators....like....was the engine sounding like the Rockers where Clacking??? You know, would lead one to think ohhh heck something more catastrophic...but really the Knock censor was shorting the Engine, causing an out of Balance, and a scary resemblance to bearings or Rockers wear....i dont know....I got me a Knock....and guess what im going to check soon?.....Thanks Kilmer

it senses knocking sounds. so if pistons start knocking, it tells the computer. Of course if something is loose and knocks, it can also set it off (computers being as they are, only being able to understand 0 or 1.)
would this also cause a car to jerk oddly at 1500 while steady driving? like small revs up and down?
hey Scotty,
how are you ?hope you are doing good .Your channel is just awesome !!!
May I ask you to post a video on about how to fix SRS light on and what are the most common reason for that problem ?
If you have a bad knock sensor 2 circuit 2 does that mean it's the knock sensor or the wiring? Or do I have to test it first to see what went out
love your work scotty.
so Scotty did i understand you correctly? the knock will sensor stop the car from cranking on a 2000 impala or should i check the crank sensor
+James Newby more often a bad crank sensor, but a really bad knock sensor can kill the ignition system too
You didn't mention draining the radiator or the oil. Can you replace it without draining either of those? I have a 2001 3.4liter impala.
Inhaling all that smoke. Your lungs must've been fighting for their lives
Do you think the engine would run fine and the only symptoms could be noticed while driving and accelerating?
Thank you Scotty
@scottykilmer I mean if the Nox Sensor is uncovering a knock in your engine then couldn't that mean other things are actually wrong with your vehicle? What could they be? If the Nox Sensor trips then could there be engine damage already done?

Scotty love your vids! I have an 2003 Chevy Impala 3.8 liter LS. I replaced the front knock sensor bank 1 behind the starter, I ned to replace the knock sensor behind bank2. I can't seem to locate it. Any hints or how to's for Bank 2? Please advise.
Hi Scotty, Jaco here from South Africa. Just want some guidance. I bought a 2004 Nissan Almera 1.6 Twincam from a working buddy. This car has been standing for about a year hut according to him they took the car to nissan to diagnose and they said its the Mass Airflow sensor.

Hi Scotty. A heat shield covering my gas tank from exhaust fell off recently. Is it big deal to drive without that?
Hi Scott,
I have a 2003 Range Rover v8 that has a bad knocking noice/sound coming from the engine. I have done an oil change yet it does not go away! Any recommendations on how I can eliminate that noice?
Think you'll ever run out of how to videos? I hope not I enjoy watching them and helped me with some car problems too.
No. Which is good. 💪
Hey I been watching your videos and they had help me alot. Now .. I just bought a 1998 Chevy astro and it has a service engine soon light. And I would like to kno if yu could help me out. and also the ac doesn't really work .. like when I turn it on it it only blows a lil bit and only from the front defroser the big vent that's in the dashboard
Hi scotty! I have a 2001 camry 2.2cc and it has a antifreeze small leake behind the water pump! Can i use a aluminum sealant??
My car just started knocking last night it died 2 times I had to get two jumps it's knocking like a rod knocking but it's the knocking noise coming from the side where all the pulleys in the tensioner and the timing chain is what do you think it could be I have a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme dohc V6 twin cam
Shoudn't be tight the new sensor at a specific torque?
I have a 2006 Impala 3.9L. I'd been getting a Service Traction Control message for over a year. It would happen every time I punched it from a stop. When the message appeared, the car became grabby when taking off and shifting. Once it was shut off for about 10 seconds, it would clear and shift smoothly again.

I have a 06 range rover hse 4.4 and I got p0332 would that cause the same poor drivability conditions and shifting late or to hard?
That Impala owner is lucky - my knock sensor is a PITA to get to.
hey Scotty i have a 99 Honda civic ex and i was wonder is there any difference in buying a cheap knock sensor and one from the auto store i found one on amazon for 20 bucks and i tried rock auto and found one for 60 buck and at the store the cost me 110 for a new one what is you opinion and whats the diffrence
get the rock auto one, not the chinese made 20 dollar job, they are often too cheaply made
Hi Scotty! Is it also this simple on a 2000 Toyota Avalon? Can you get to the knock sensor from the bottom of the car instead of going through the intake manifold?
+Nicole Robinson Your's is under the intake manifold. Don't forget to replace the gasket!
Hey Mr. Scotty one question I changed my knock sensors and now it still shows on the engine light that is has a bad knock sensor..
then either you got a bad sensor if not oem, or wiring is bad, or maincomputer circuit has a flaw.
hi Scotty, your code reader says bank 2. Every book including GM manual says bank 2 is
on the back of the engine. Can you clarify? thanks. nice Vette
Hello scotty! could you do a video on how to find a vacuum pipe to tap into to add a boost gauge on a diesel?
Great videos!
How hard is this on a 2007 Toyota 4Runner? There are 2 in the engine and dealer wants $1,500.00 to do it?? I do lots of car work but never engine work? Please give me your opinion.
Thank You
Scotty how many miles did that Impala have? That thing has been through a few wars. Also, would it hurt to put up some mesh around the knock sensor so that rocks and stones can't hit the knock sensor if it's down at the bottom of the motor?
you could put a mesh if you want, the car was just basically beaten to hell, it had 90 something thousand on the clock
Hi Scotty, My 2001 Maxima is knocking and I hope that if I replace the knock sensor it will sound better. But i'm not showing a P0330 code. Do you think i'm wasting my time since its a pain in the ass reach?

yes, they can do that, as knock sensors effect engine timing
Scotty is a beast! Why pay when you already have scottys brain to borrow for the job
Hello Scotty. I've got Toyota Avalon xl 1995. I've got 2 knock sensors in my V6 engine, my question is:did better is change both of them in same time?
7 years late but yes change both while you are there. One time labour. What symptoms did you have?
If I want to depressurize my fuel pump so my fuel injectors won't spray me do I have to just take out the relay or fuse for the pump? Please help me
Hey Scotty, the sensor after market or from the dealer
What's better?
I look forward to the day when we no longer rely on internal combustion engines. Thanks again Scotty.
hey scotty i have a problem! my car is making a knocking sound at cold start it does away after 1-3 min! oil pressure is good, oil level is good, no check engine light, car runs normal as before, what can it be, bad lifters, rod bearing, piston slap? plz help thanks!
I would love to take a ride in that Stingray !
would the knock sensors be located in the same place as the 01 impala
Yes if you have a 3.4 liter engine. The 3.8liter engines have 2 knock sensors.
Can you tell me where the camshaft position sensor is on a 96 Toyota Camry 2.2L? I've looked all over the internet and I can't find anything on it but my sensors bad
Hey scotty, would you have any idea where the knock sensor is on a Pontiac Montana SV6 3.5L?
Hello Scotty would you happen to know the knock sensor location for a 2008 Pontiac G8 V6
Scotty where's the knock sensor on a 96 Toyota Tacoma 3.4 l and what does it entail to replace it?
hello Scotty I'm being told it's a rod nocking in my 03 impala would that maybe take care of nocking?
+Alex Gonzales worth a try, but if not, get rid of it, engine would be ready to blow inside, typical on that model
Hi Scott how are you this is Colleen how can you please tell me how many knock sensor on a 2004 Chevy Impala with a 3.4 engine I would appreciate your help if you do so
Is this the same process for a 2000 monte Carlo 3800 engine..bank 1 sensor 1?
Hey....first of all..love ya man!
Second...where the hell is the knock sensor for 2015 accord exl v6?? Googled it and no luck. Btw.. code P0333 bank 2. Thank you!!
Did you find where it is? I'm having the same code p0333.
So how many knock sensors does a car has? My car gave me a check engine light that read Knock sensor bank 1 with the code P0325. is there any other knock sensors other that this one?
Paul Komarek most cars only use one, excepting some high end V engines
When I started on my 1995 buick century I heard a loud pop engine sputtered and died. Restarted would only stay on if I gave it throttle. Made it home hitting only right turns then looked under hood and heard vacuum leak. Knock sensor was off the fitting.. My guess is when I started the car it popped off? what causes this?
About a week ago i used lucas fuel injector ad upper cylinder cleaner
I have a broken knock sensor would that cause the car to backfire though the intake faintly??
Nice dry start
scotty, i have a 2006 ford f150 5.4 4x4, i was having a code p0351, for coil pack cyl 1, anyway, i replaced it, and it seems to have fixed the poor idle, i cleared all codes, and drove it down the road and back, i have what feels like power loss, almost like something is holding the engine back, i hear pinging while accelerating,, i rescanned, even tho i do not have a check engine light, now i get a code for knock sensor, from what i understand, a bad knock sensor will do this,,,, also, if this is the problem, is this something a shop should handle, I am mechanical, but not a mechanic,, i do hvac for a living,,, please help! thank you!!
also, is it bad to drive with a bad knock sensor?
Is it bad to drive with a P0330? I have a 1996 4Runner SR5 and it's the only code I have. I am noticing a small loss of power in acceleration.
knock sensor codes often do very little, i've seen guys drive em 5 years that way with no real problems
I always wonder why some people don't take care of their car. They just drive it until it practically dies.
Do you have a video for intake camshaft position actuator circuit/open bank 1.
I have a trouble code P0441 something about a purge, on a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland can you help with that?
pray it's just a bad evap cannister purge valve, places like auto zone can sell you one and show it's location on their computer screen.
Where's the location of a knock sensor on 2005 Nissan xterra and do I have to remove the whole engine manifold to reach it
Hey scott.. this is off topic.
If your window won't go up, what should i do? The window wants to go up, but it's making noise and just stays down. What should i do?
the regulator is probably broken, or the tabs that connect the regulator to the window.
yep, see my video "fixing broken power windows" and replace the regulator or the whole motor regulator assembly, some are sold as a unit
Scotty Kilmer Fixed window already.. Thanks Scott!
Hey scotty , i have a Mazda mpv lx and the oil pan gasket is leaking oil,plus a o2 sensor need to be replaced .we have blue smoke when we start the car.can we fix this ourself .thanks
blue smoke is serious, means the engine is burning metal and oil, often worn valve seals and or worn piston rings. You can't fix that yourself. The oil pan gasket and sensor you can do, but probably, engine is just flat wearing out.
Ok thanks so much.
Hello sir, I recently just replaced my knock sensor on my 99 es300, do you why the code always come back up after I reach around 4 thousand rpm? It works fine under 2-3000 but if it exceed 4000 the code p0330 will pop up it bothers me a lot.
if engine has internal wear and knocks at that rpm, it would show internal engine problem like rod or valves knocking
I bought off brand knock sensors and they didn't work so now I'm noticing that the connectors are loose is there anyway that I can make them tighter without buying wire harness
+Damiyon Wood I personally solder wiring onto the sensors, then solder that wiring into the wiring harness
Scotty i have lexus rx 2010, i have the check engine on and the car will not work, no ignition. Battery is ok!
Thanks scotty.
my engine is knocking... should I let it in
naw.....just replace with a new one
Welcome Her with Open Sensors.
Noooooo
Floor it like you stole it
Hey bud I have a 05 silverado with the 5.3 liter engine and I have the knock sensor code and have replaced both knock sensors and the wiring harness. Also have traced the wires as far as I can and can't find anything wrong? Any suggestions?
well, if wiring is good, either you got crappy non oem sensors, the main computer is shorted out for that circuit, or the engine is actually knocking and that sets the codes
Did buy cheap sensors so i may give that a try..
Thank you for replying!!
hi scotty,my 2000 altima's check engine light keeps coming on and cant get inspection.i did get it read and says it needs p1126-thermostat/po325-knock sensor cir. malfunction. only thing is my car runs pretty good does it need both?
replace the thermostat, and the knock sensor
thank you so much!! i enjoy your videos!
So hi scotty, I have a 2006 Rendezvous 3500 motor, where's my knock sensor please and thank you
What the best way to take a knock sensor off a 01 Monte carlo 3.8l?
