Can mounting a knock sensor on the altenator bracket be a bad thing. My car has been throwing the code for a while now. It went away for like one day when I first mounted it and then it came back does anyone have any info this is on a PR3 ecu.

 

what does a knock sensor look like?

 

Knock sensors belong in the block, threaded in their place.
What did you expect? It does not belong on the alternator bracket.
Put it where it belongs, wire it to the ECU and your CEL problem will be solved.

EDIT: Spelling

Thats bullshit. Ive seen this done alot. Ive seen people go so far as to make a bracket that the sensor bolts to and then bolt the bracket to the block. This works fine the altenator bracket should work to since it is bolted to the block. And furthermore the b18a block doesnt have a spot for the sensor anywhere on it. It wasnt until the b18b came along that they even started using it.

 

Gee, then I think you are proving that the knock sensor on the alternator bracket works, right?

 

Accually thats my question for someone that has accually had experience with it. I am not saying that it must work right but I am saying that I dont see why it wouldnt. It should thats all im saying. All the knock sensor does is ground out the connection between the ecu and the motor. It also sends an electrical current when it scences knock. I am just wondering if this location is good or not coming from someone that has experience. Thanks

 

What I did was I drill/tap a hole on my b18a block for knock sensor. It works but
I don't use it now cuz I run Hondata w/ a P28.

 

Thanks for the imput.

 

So you still had to drill a hole in the block, Like the above post said. I don't know why people don't listen.

 

what did the above post said? it was me who said to drill/tap the block. that's
the proper way of doing it. the alternator bracket way is just...not right.
the knock sensor might not even read correctly.

 

i i nkow sum1 that did and it worked , when i was runnin my Ls/vtec i was usin a b18a also , what i did was i got my ecu reprogrammed and some stuff removed like the knock sensor ( no more problems) oh yeah btw im still running the same pr3 on my new setup (see sig)
