Furling Issues

should be a 3pin(?) green plug for the knock sensor, yes it should have one! could also be my problem but mine does have one at the moment. any information on if these can break? im guessing these need to make contact with the block (no paint underneith etc?)

Been told they have to be a certain torque setting as well. How true I don't no. They do break oe parts number 594630 Bosch number 0261231130

 

Although I ain't to sure whrere they are meant to go lol

Cheers, fort that was the case, but makes sense to check. Gonna have a dig about in my garage tonight, see if it's in there, not gonna hold my breathe as I have moved since, fingers crossed the one I've ordered turns up fast if the other one isnt about

AFAIK to test it you can tap it with a spanner whilst the engine is running. If its working the revs should change.

fancy testing it on yours dave

what would happen if you unplugged the knock sensor? nothin happens when i unplug mine?

[stuart1298 6]

Well hopefully I'll find out what happens when ones plugged in, in the next few days, so will let you no, lol

just fitted the knock sensor, its a different car!! runs better, although a bit rough on idle, which i think is down to the idle control valve, but other than that i'm well happy, no more hesitation, no bogging down, she flys, thanks for all the help guys

glad you got it sorted in the end, but a general rule of thumb is if there are connectors left over then you are probably missing something! I'm not sure why you would have unscrewed it from the block in the first place.

 

Anyway, change the oil now as if it has been over fuelling, there is a good chance it will have thinned the oil and you could get bore wash etc.

I stripped it down about 2 years ago, and it sat for s year, so forgotten about bits. It painted the head and block,

And if you haven't already done so, wire in the engine check light (aka K-light) which would (or certainly should) have been brightly lit with a missing knock sensor.

also worth leaving the ecu disconnected to re-set the ecu.

[stuart1298 6]

I had the battery disconnected while I fitted it. Any more details on the check light?
