If a knock sensor was bad, the check engine light would be illuminated and the code(s) set would indicate so.
What year, and application? NEW ANSWER: That would be the knock sensor,
It would help to know the year, But I would say that it is the knock sensor wire and it should be pluged into the knock sensor that is screewed into the side of the engine block just in front of the starter.
Where would the knock sensor be located on a 2004 mazda 6?
I have a 1997 1500 chevy truck vtect engine and I hit a bump in the road and it would not start. What do this mean
The knock sensor is located in the block, under the intake manifold. You have to basically remove the top end of the engine to get to it. The pigtail which connects the sensor to the harness is usually the culprit. It is notorious for failing but after spending all the time and money for gaskets I would recommend replacing the sensor as well.
If just the knock sensor need to be replaced. I would say no more than $150.00
I have a 240 and with the knock sensor unplugged it will still start so I would have to say no.
thats your knock sensor ESC is Electronic Spark Control which governs timing.
No. It only senses engine vibration/knock.
A knock sensor is located in a specific area on the block or cylinder head in order to sense spark knock occuring and send a signal to the ECM to retard the timing. Relocating the knock sensor would defeat its purpose.
yes
