Reply With Quoteif you have a k-pro, you can run it with a bad knock sensor.
the stock ecu will retard ignition timing if it reads knock. with the k-pro it goes off of fixed maps, so as long as the knock has been tuned out, you got nothin to worry about.
well this is the second knock sensor i have killed in the 2 years of being turboed so i guess thats not too bad. i should be ok to get on the car til i get a new knock sensor huh? i never threw any knocks since being tuned by st00pid.

You got me. I have never trashed a knock sensor.
me neither... going on 3 years and just under 80K on the turbo.

Stuff
I had to replace mine last year.
I'd take the 10 minutes to replace the sensor before ragging on the car, but that's just me.
if you have kpro the knock sensor does nothing to the way the car works as far as pulling timing
it is nothing more than a datalog tool when you have kpro to look for it so you can tune it out
he is perfectly fine with it fucked up
now if you change something and need to get tuned dont get tuned untill you get a new one

yeah i am at about 52K miles S/C and still have never blown out a knock sensor.Originally Posted by dj addicted
its just weird that it went out cuz i never see the cel flash and when i datalog i never see knock.
I've replaced two also. Are you on a K20 or K24?
k20a3 bottom end still
I had a K24A2 but was using the K20A3 knock sensor in it since I was still using the K20A3 wiring harness and the plugs are different. I thought that might be the problem. I've switched to the K24A2 knock sensor and I guess I'll see what happens.
who needs a knock sensor??? lol ftw
it can inform you of a potentially moderate problem

That's why I replaced mine. If I start getting knock out of the blue...went lean for whatever reason...I want to know about it. I know it's not *needed* if you're using kpro, which I am, but I like having that little peace of mind. Besides, it doesn't take long to replace it.
