Disconnecting Knock Sensor

[IH8TOADS]

I concur!

Has your cold start idle, high and low speed fans etc been doing funky stuff?

[Mr_4.0]

Cold start has been fine other than the timing up and down each cycle. As above.

Fans have been fine.

After playing with the connection today, the coolant temp drops out for 5-10 seconds at a time. And always when bringing revs up. Must be vibration related.

I haven't had time yet to look through the nizpro tune file for the coolant temp table to see what happens to timing at zero temp.

With Mr Toads assistance, Im working on getting this corrected as we speak

Sweet as, well I got all my gear today, accept for the email with the application key so I cant even have a play

Sooooooooooo what's the best way to get the old coolant temp sensor out and new one in? Not much room back there!!

[Ralph Wiggum]

19mm offset ring spanner and alot of patience…………….or take the trans out……..

[Mr_4.0]

19mm?

I'm onto it!!! Thanks!!

[Ralph Wiggum]

99% sure its 19mm

[Mr_4.0]

Wish I could see it. All by feel.

What sort of plug is on it?

From memory its just a two pin connector, same as the ones for the VDO's on the camshaft phasers. I think it is 19mm like luke said, a handy tip is to cheap sh*tty set of ling long combination spanners, purely to modify for doing special little jobs, I have a custom one I made when I was doing my apprenticeship for changing out the high pressure power steering hose, saves having to drop the swaybar 'd' mounts and the hose clamp/insulator on the crossmemeber.

Although didnt you say that the signal came/went when playing with the connector? Once you pull the senor and check for corroded/bent pins, check the harness aswell and use a seal pick or similar to squash the female pins closer to ensure they are fairly firm and that there isnt any tension on the harness putting the conneciton under stress. I should be able to get you a resistance reading for the sensor if you like?

cheers luke, turn out my key came with my stuff, it was folded up in my receipt haha.
