just dropped a b16 from a del sol into my 92 vx hb and i know where to run the knock sensor wire into my ecu but i don't know where to run it to on the engine,where the heck is the knock sensor and how do i convert this 5 wire o2 sensor into a rgular 4 wire one?????????????????

 

I believe the knock sensor is on the back of the block below the intake manifold. It is a green plug I think...

 

It is under the intake manifold and it is a green plug. It is a bitch to get off. I just broke mine trying to pull the plug off of it. $135.00 later, I may be back in business.

Be careful.

I thaught that was the oil pressure sensor

 

here is a pic to help you out:

 

and here is the oil pressure, just so you know

 

 

thanx for the help guys, i just spent two hours looking for the damn thing ( my engine is already in along with the head installed so its pretty cramped in there ) and i still dont see that , i am beginning to think thats maybe the b16s dont have them and on b18's do , i am going to take the head off tommorrow just to make sure i can get a clean look , that must be a b18 in those pics because its looks a little different from mine , but again thankx at least i know where and what im lookin for

 

It is there, trust me. I just did the swap. hope you find it. and the pics i posted are fom a B16

Hey:

Its there on the B16. I don't have an Acura dealer in town, and the Honda dealer refuses to sell me anything for an Acura (!), so I ordered the knock sensor for a 1999 Civic Si instead.

You can kind of see it from the passenger side of the car looking under the intake. It is nearly impossible to see from the driver's side. You have to do the pokey-feely method.

Good Luck

Steve

 

thanx again guys , i am in germany so its getting late over here so i'm callin it a nite , but as soon as i get back over to my beeatch tommorrow i will let ya'll know how its going, by the way i got this engine out of a german del sol and the code is a b16a2 , i jus tthought that was kinda weird because i thought those only came in the 99-00 Si's

 

CR-X - dude, what is the two pronged sensor below left of the knock sensor?

does your fan come on, i think not, plug it in man!!

 

whoa, where did that dude up there get his green oil filter?! i want one! hahaha

 

yeah - fan comes on -

im using hte Prelude radiator which has the fan switch located on the bottom of the radiator near the bottom outlet,

so my fan comes on. (i also have an override switch for it to turn it permanantly on in heavy traffic on hot days)

thanks Giuseppe - i have been wondering about it!!!

What color is the wire that goes to the knock sensor for a D16Y8?
