Nice job. It's a good idea to replace that coolant bypass hose and also unbolt the plate under it and apply new sealant while you're in there. Mental note in case you have to go back in there.
This video is great man. love the solution for splicing the wires to fool the ECU into the 2 in 1 knock censors. I'm not really up to par on my electrical knowledge, but sounds like it works. a year and counting. I'm also no mechanic either lol, but I've got this same problem on my '02. Gonna have to get my mechanic buddy to help me out on this project lol. Good to know you can DIY, I'm tired of dumping money on the old shitbox.
QUESTION! I see you didn't have to replace that coolant hose above the knock sensors and below the intake manifold. I've seen some people say they recommend it, so i figure I should probably just get the part. But have you any clue what that part is called?
I filled my Camry with 91 octane and the code gets triggered at the exact same time as with 87 octane. The code triggers when I reach 54 mph. No matter if I accelerate fast or slowly
@@alexisluna8740 Disconnect the electric tag or connection to the EGR valve. (this will shut it down, turn on the engine light, but stop the knock-- which will ruin your engine if you let the knock continue. There is too much EG in your combustion mixture or its badly distributed.
@@alexisluna8740 The EGR valve is letting too much exhaust gas unevenly into one or two of the combustion chambers, due to clog up of one/two the intake ports, this will cause a miss and a knock on the affected power stroke. An immediate cure: disconnect the electric feed to the EGR valve. This will end the miss and the knock. It will turn the engine light on, and it will stay on. However, you will no longer harm the engine. The engine will be dirty for NOX...but will have more power, and better mileage. The last time I had ports cleaned out it was 1500.00
The tag still on the open end wrench made me laugh so hard. This is my kind of guy 🤣

I cleaned it up best I could, but I will keep it in mind thanks!

I have the same car, with the same codes. thank you
Hi, do you have a link for the kit you used?
I found most of the stuff I used on amazon
It is highly unlikely that a knock sensor would ever go-- try to find the knock instead. Start by raising the octane of the gas.

That hack was cringy. I think I would have Just cut the broken connector and soldered a new one on.
Been over a year and hasn't failed me yet, redneck solution working great so far.
