Default haha, another Knock Sensor "?".....i kno you guys will say go do a search, but so far i c no answer

aight, i did my search on the archives, and recent topics......i may have overlooked it, or this probleem may be as simple as can be....
but basically i've got my swap ('95 b18c1) all done, w/ the set back of the starter being broken....but the one wire i'm struggling on is the infamous "KNOCK SENSOR"
basically where the hell does this plug into the ecu?......wat's the exact steps needed to modify my '94 Si harness to plug into the ecu?......does any one have the parts for it?......

Taken from http://hybrid.honda-perf.org:


It's D3...the pin to the right of D1.

He's asking how exactly to wire up the knock sensor to the ECU. Okay, we need a piece of wire. What kind of wire and where can he get it? How would we attach the wire to the ECU? How would we attach it to the knock sensor?

On my car the harness already had a wire running into the ECU in the KS's spot. So I traced it into the engine bay and there it was with a little cap in the pin slot. So I tapped off of that into the KS location which is on the driver side right beneath the intake manifold. It's hard to see but you can feel around for it. You do need the plug from the integra harness remember.

Well, I just did the wiring for my '93 Si (w/ b18c1) yesterday - you'll need to add that wire using a "pin", not sure if there's any that are unused, but I took (read: hacked off) a ecu harness plug offa wrecked del Sol and took the pins I needed offa that one (you probably can use any OBD-I honda ecu harness), I went to manchester honda and they "couldn't" just sell me the pins I needed - they only had a set, and it costed an arm and a leg. Well, when you get the pin on the wire (or a wire w/ the pin already - from a hacked-off harness), use a screwdriver and "open" up the gates behind the harness plug, after that - look for D3 and just push the new clip in, then close the "gates" and you're set to run the wires to the plug on the motor.

PS. If you don't have the GSR harness, that KS plug is similar to other plugs, you can probably hack one offa unused harness (I used a Si harness and took the plugs offa an old 1.5dx harness). But I'd recomend taking the pigtail plugs offa gsR harness and run the wire str8 from the ECU to the plug. Well, ok - I'm tired - so I'll sleep now, goodnight.
