Hey
Im just wondering, i got and new knock sensor for my engine because my old one broke. Can i relocated my new one some where else as long thats it attached to the engine?
Would it still work and does its job?

no... it's ability to sense "knock" would be hindered...Quote:

Don't get what your saying man,
I relocated but its still on the block. It will definately knock when the engine is on.
WOULD IT STILL WORK
ALso the connection that goes to the knock sensor from the ecu, Is it GND signal throwing from the ecu in D6 from obdIIa?
He said it before, listen to him. It won't work AS WELL as it did before it the original position.
Meaning if you move it to another spot, it won't work correctly. Honda put it there specifically because it works best there.
that's right.Quote:

BUT... it depends where your re-locating and how you plan on doing so....
I personally have mine bypassed via the ecu....
actually how are you relocating it?? and where do you propose to have it?
i got the same problem, how you bypass
Well i look under the car, i see theres a hole for a nut to go in and its empty, ( the holes got threads) so i screw the knock sensor in there.
How do you bypass it from the ecu? Or you mean disable it from the rom? I got a P72
you have to modify the ecu then edit the ROM with a rom editor then create a new rom and fit it to the ECU.
