Default Knock sensor?

I have 2000 gs-r swap in my 95 civic si hatch, and I am still using the sohc vtec wiring harness which leaves the kncok sensor disconnected from the rest of the wiring harness and makes my check engine light come everytime I start the car. What pin # does the knock sensor go into?

Thanks

Scott

What kind of wire is shielded? Can I get it off of my old wiring harness?

Thanks

How much of a loss in hp am I at with the knock sensor disconnected? Vtec feels good and it goes to 8k?

Thanks

Yes you can salvage shielded wire from both cabin and engine harnesses. They will have a gray jacket and are about 1/8" thick. Inside the gray jacket will be a regular single wire and then a bare braided wire that spirals around it. The bare wire needs to be grounded on either end, usually on the ECU side.
