Title: My knock sensor has stopped working
Post by: Jonathan_F on June 28, 2006, 05:56:26 PM
Hi. Its been broken since the rebuild..either that or i\'m getting no engine vibration at all!!

With VW type sensors you had to torque then up carefully to 20Nm. Re-torquing sometimes helps as well.

Are there any special handling techniques that can bring them back to life?

Thankyou

Jon

I find plugging the sensor in.

In serious mode, try tapping the engine block with a hammer and see what it reads. If it doesnt read anything, then you need to either replace the sensor or check the wiring.
