Car is throwing code for knock sensor on b16a. I was just wondering if I should just buy knock sensor and wire it up or buy chipped p28 which does not look for knock sensor. I eventually want to boost and will need the p28 as I want to run hondata, so I guess I want to know if I should buy knock sensor now or is it really not needed.

 

As long as even a reasonable amount of care is taken tuning it, you'll be fine without a knock sensor.

 

bump anybody else have any thoughts?

 

Check light pulls back 2 degrees of timing and also runs your engine on safe mode. safemode = loss of HP and TQ


try this if you know your knock sensor is working.

1. Cut the plug from the harness leaving a little wire left for the connection. (about 1 inch)
2. Take a RCA wire. In a RCA wire there are two wires. Outer and Inner. Strip the end and pull back the outer wires away from the inside wire.
3. strip the inside wire and connect it to the plug. Tape it with Electrical tape push back the outer wires over the taped part and tape over it agian.
4. Cover it with plastic from the harness. or you can use any plastic wire cover which you can buy at any store that sales wire stuff (dont forget to plug it to the knock sensor after your done.)
5. Slice the other end the same way as step 2, and follow step 3 agian but this time plug it to the ecu.
6. Next ground the outer wire from the ECU side to the chassie and your done.

(Important- Make sure the outer and inner wire does not touch each other)

This should solve any Working Knock sensor problem.
