PaulStarletSR Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 (edited) boys, havnt got a clue bout this but where does the knock sensor plug go? im not sure where to find the knock sensor, help please! Edited May 16, 2013 by PaulStarletSR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 The knock sensor itself is on te back of the block, underneath the intake manifold. The N/A doesn't run a knock sensor as far as I'm aware. The wires should trace back to the ecu mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 aye its a conversion im doin and workin my way thru the last of the plugs that dont have a home and this is 1,il have a feel under the inlet and see if i can find it.any idea if its to the left or right as u look at it?

daniel_g Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Looking at the car from the front the knock sensor sits to the left iirc. Near the waterpump pipe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted May 15, 2013 Author Share Posted May 15, 2013 was too dark to see, lyin under it and standin over it! need to check again 2moz! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 ANY PIX OF THE EXACT LOCATION??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) Can't seem to find a pic but I know there is a few floating around of the back of the block. You can't miss it, its the only sensor on the back of the block. The EFE engine doesn't have it threaded though, so to fit it you'll need to have that boss threaded. Edit : Its here http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?101041-where-is-the-knock-sensor-located-exactly&highlight=knock+sensorDirectly under No2 core plug.

Socks Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 is that a blanking plug or has the connector been snapped off somehow? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulStarletSR Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 when feelin it mate, it feels quite smooth, think its been blanked. but if thats the case then what do i do? wont the engine run like shit without the knock sensor?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 You sure its an 4efte engine :s 4efe's have it blanked off as they don't use one... You NEED a knock sensor.. or it will throw a EML... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Knock sensor is for your timing mate it basically lets the engine run with as advanced timing as possible without the engine pinking. Without it you will as socks say get an EML you also risk it misfueling and lacking power. Which obviously can lead to burning pistons n snapping con rods. In worst case scenarios.

morgey Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 The plugs on knock sensors are just a spade connector with a black casing as far as im aware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
