    Default another knock sensor question

    gsr in 95ej1.....ok, motor is cool but throwing knock sensor

    right now im running no cat an hav a test pipe on (just cuz it fit at time of swap and havnt changed it yet) by the extra loss of back pressure and what other bads there are by not having the cat on, could this create some feedback an or bad vibrations and set off the knock sensor??

    i know i need to put that cat on an find out, was just curious to see if this is possable. anyone whos changed a knock sensor on gsr motor knows u'll look for ANY reason not to do it....lol

    thanks lmk what think

    I have a far knock sensor if you need it. Also that has nothing to do with the knock sensor code. It may be a bad connection, bad knock, or something like that. Chip the ecu and delete it unless you want to spend on trying to get it fixed. Scotty from main stream chips ecu's for $80 and they have to be obd1

    check the timing and try better octane if not already and see if it stays off. if your timing or bad gas is causing a ping it will do this.
    LET ME GUESS... YOU MISSED A GEAR!
