Just thought i would add that i am having trouble with my S13 aswell, the motor was swapped out by the previous owner and i get some stutters and jerks under boost but all seems fine in boost, but i checked my ECCS for errors thanks to Daniels tip and i found it gave me the Knock Sensor error 34

LOL i had knock sensor codes 2 when i got my car! Not only was the wire broken but the sensor itself was broken.

Im selling knock sensors @ R300 each..have about 4

Hi Grobblere, how does the knock sensor connect? If i look at my knock sensor i can just see a plastic tube coming out of it with an O-ring around it, i cant see any wire coming out of it and i cant see any plug laying loose in the area, i just have 3 loose wires, will take some pics in the morning, but if i had to buy a knock sensor from you would it come with a plug or anything? or do i need to just take my knock sensor out and some how wire it again. Im more than prepared to buy one if neccesary.

Thanks

please pm message me your number Grobblere i might need one thanks

This is how it connects, with 1 little wire with a plastic connector, but you can just get a round lugg.

Well ive got good news on my part, i reconnected my Knock sensor with a extended cable and a terminal clip on the spade inside and i ran the diagnostic again and my error code has dissapeared, with the car running it repeats 55 over and over again Woohoo, i have yet to test drive it but theres a major difference in throttle response from idle.

Thanks Grobblere!

took a look at mine cable was swaped around with the oil pressure just 1 more way this guy screwed me. just got back from venom it was just timing that was the problem must just fix leak in exhaust mani then im 100s

yes timing is a bitch as i have found out.
when i got my sx it ran fine and one day it started to stuter under boost and so on so i checked timing marks and boost leaks all and all checked out but what i did not check was the advance and retarded timing.
Got a timing light and set it to spec and gone was all my problems.

Gees i even went as far to check if it was my CAS.

So Check your timing it is important and makes a huge impact on the runnig of the engine
