Unless the ECU is chipped, your going to get a CEL for the knock sensor.

 

If your ecu is OBD1 sohc then it isn't looking for a knock sensor signal. It doesn't matter if there is a sensor on the block, if the ecu doesn't recognize it it means nothing. You won't get a code for that.

 

I didn't have my knock sensor setup for a while and it threw a code on my b16. Fixed the CEL, but didn't notice any big differences in performance. I'd get it if your ECU requires it, for safe measures.

That's because you have a B16. All B-series VTEC had knock sensor, but the only D16 ecu that ever recongized a knock sensor is the 96-00 P2P ecu for Y8 engines. If he's running a P28 he does not need the knock sensor. If you use a chipped P28 on a B-series VTEC you don't need the sensor either.

Correct.
