On my 1990 Remix six cylinder XJ the wire harness connector that plugs into the knock sensor is broken. This is a two prong plug. Looks simular to the fuel injector wire harness connector I think, hard to tell cause there isn't much plastic left!
This is the knock sensor located on left side of engine block, down low just above oil pan midway between front and rear of the block.
What is the name of this kind of connector?, Or maybe a part number, or better still a vendor contact who can sell me a replacement?
Getting her ready for smog, just put in a new O2 sender, old one was filthy inside, rust colored on one side. I have a new catalyst to go in next, old one melted down and clogged 500 miles from home, so it got cleared out to get home!
Anyway if anyone has a line where to get that knock sensor connector that is on the harness, I sure will appreciate your help.
Also a technical question about the ecu...
If knock sensor signal to the ecu is lost, will the ecu lock down the timing advance to a low safe value, (limp home mode) or will the ecu think, "hey I detect no knocking", and then run up the advance to upper limit?
Thanks!
