i recieved my swap from IAS with a damaged KNOCK SENSOR. they sent me a new one and i was wondering if there is anything in particular i should look out for when installing this. will any fluids come out?
TIA

 

no fluids
just remove old, install new.

 

thanks for the info guys. good thing i have a Skunk2 manifold though because it would be really hard to reach with the stock gs-r manifold.

 

Be sure to torque it to the proper spec.

I'm about to do this and I'm wondering how I get to it without taking the intake manifold off. Can I access it by removing the oil filter?

Also, do you know what size socket I need?

Thanks a lot!

 

wow this thread is from 5/19/02... no need to remove the oil filter. I forgot the socket size but it is real easy to do.

 

How do you access it with the engine in the car then? I tried from underneath the car, but I couldn't see it...I could only feel it. And I don't think there's any way to do it from above.

Does anyone know the socket size needed?

not sure if its the same setup, but in my lude its very easy to get at when i have the car up in the air.... maybe its harder to see if youre only using a jack, lifts rule.

 

i did it from above with no problems...

 

Man, I can't imagine how? I can barely get my hand in there, let alone a wrench or socket.

 

I have a gs-r motor with a skunk2 mani

 

i just changed mine yesterday on my b16a i did it from above its pretty easy and the socket you need is a 26mm deep thin wall what are you supposed to tourqe it to? i just hand tightened it and then a small extra turn for good luck

 

Thanks, dude. What about wiring it to the ECU...was that very difficult? I bought my CRX with the swap, so I've never messed with the wiring. The thing I'm not sure about is how/where to route the wire into the passenger footwell area.

 

i dont know about wiring it becaus mie was pre wired all i had to do was plug it in and drive away

 

Anyone know?
