Thank you. Used this process today on my son’s truck. Worked like a champ. Cost was less than $25. Saved $2400 from the local mechanic quote.

Thanks Matt!!

[@Detoxingforlife]

Thank you brother short and sweet! Xterra brotherhood lol

[@mmmejias18]

Now the check engine light is off but the sensor is not feeling the knock which helps the computer with timing.

[@natepressley3379]

Exactly! 🤪🤙

[@user-tl9cr9vm3x]

You are a genius!

[@myysticranger]

It is even worse for us with the supercharged VG33.
I've got a 2003 SE/SC Xterra and that KS has been going off and on since I bought it back in 2009.

[@yolanikenny6407]

Can knock sensor fail the Nissan elgrand vg33 fail to start?

[@JnRskaters]

Did you get your fixed

[@billsmathers3021]

Matt good information thank you. Any chance you did the timing belt video? I'm considering doing mine I have 92k on mine , recent purchase.

So why use a 1999 Nissan Maxima Knock Sensor instead of the Xterra one?

[@GMJLopez]

From what I've seen, the 99 Maxima has a harness that cheap and easy to source.

[@robertthomason8832]

Do you know what the part number for the maxima knock sensor you purchased?

[@ACT1O1]

will this work on a 99 QX4?@@gm-classics

[@franciscoevangelio8011]

You n ver have sensor parameters on good condition, knock sensor needs to be install on engine block, sorry, you are wrong

[@gm-classics]

It may be “wrong” but it works… some with over 300k miles PAST doing this.

[@ihaveastory6132]

Great vid! I was able to reach around and under and was able to disconnect my old sensor. he original harness is long enough to do this relocation without cutting the wires. Also if you use an aftermarket sensor you will often have to replace the cam sensor too. This video explains why aftermarket sensors set off other sensors and sometimes have problems

[@gm-classics]

Several done at 70-80k with 250k on them now… we have different opinions of bad ideas

[@user-oe6od3gg9t]
