Finest Ass?

[suprahero]

O.K. now that I got your attention. If you can't help me with a code 52 then you can go to the NWS naked women thread now...................:biglaugh:

I bought the knock sensor rewire kit from Shaeff. It is a great product and has very informative and easy to read instructions. I installed it on my wifes car and I'm still getting a code 52 after resetting the computer. I have one new knock sensor installed and I've swapped out the other one with two more that I had. They can't all be bad, I know. My question is, would low oil pressure cause the sensor to detect a knock? My wifes car has extremely low oil pressure even though it's a new engine. It idles barely above 0, and when your going down the road it reads about twenty to thirty maybe. Is there any way that this could be my problem? Has anyone else had a code 52 that they couldn't get rid of?

After I installed the rewire kit, I took the ecu fuse out and then drove it down the road. I was barely past thirty miles an hour when it threw the code. I wasn't getting on it at all yet. Please help, and yes I have searched repeatedly for answers to this problem. Thanks alot................lol

First thing you learn in advertisement...............lol


I'm not in advertisment, but I took a class a long time ago...............:biglaugh:

NO ASS AGAIN DAMMIT!!!!


Did you replace the oil pump?

Finest ass is the ultimate title for quick responses...................:biglaugh:

No, but that's what I'm leaning towards. I'm going to search for some threads on it and see what I can find. I want to see if they were having the same symptoms as me. I don't know that it's not the gauge reading poorly. It is the stock gauge, so anything is possible. Sounds like MKIIIVixen is getting a new oil pump though. Yeah, more work for me....................lol

How about the wiring to the OP sensor?

 

[isnms]

Make sure the re-wire is good.
Take the connector off the KS. Set multimeter to ohm. Touch center pin of connector with one lead. Touch ground with the other. Should be no continuity.

Darn. I already had him whipped out-ER....I mean. What?


..Wha...What?

:runaway:

 

[boost fiend]

figures people would jump on this thread with a title like this! lol!!

how clean are the conections at the grounds??

from what i have read, those ks kits have some decent grounds. did you ground them well? just a thought

 

[Clip]

id say bad connections, with boost fiend.

 

[suprahero]

I grounded it to the cross member under the dash like Shaeff suggested. The other two connections are just plug ins. I also soldered the two connections to the wires at the ecu....................:dunno:

 

[isnms]

Make sure there is no continuity between the signal wire and the shielding.

I had a ks wire the previous person put a butt connector on. I had no code sitting still idling. When I started to move it threw 52. He didn't strip the shielding back far enough. The shielding would touch the connector when the wire vibrated from motion.

Then make sure continuity is good between the ks connector end and ecu pin end.
Then verify your ground is good ground.

That should cover all the wiring

 

[shaeff]

i check every harness before i send it out to make sure there's no continuity between the signal wire and the ground. it's impossible that it happened, unless suprahero got the wire too hot with the soldering iron, and melted the insulation around the signal wire, thus causing a short to ground.

also, low oil pressure, rodknock, throwing hammers in your engine bay don't have ANYTHING to do with code 52.

code 52 (knock sensor(s)) is recorded and stored ONLY in the event that the ECU does NOT receive a signal from one or both knock sensors. the CEL will not illuminate if you get rodknock, or if you shoot your motor with an uzi. as long as the ECU is receiving a signal from both knock sensors (one on GE's) then it's happy.

[isnms]

That was suggested just to verify wiring. Anything can happen in the wiring process.
And if it's not wiring, it's KS or ECU.

..Wha...What?

:runaway:

 

[suprahero]

I was just thinking that if I had low oil pressure, it might make it knock. I guess that it doesn't. I will check the connections again. I'm running out of ideas, and I really want to get it fixed.............lol

 

[isnms]

It took me a little bit to get through my head too; 52 is not knock. It is the communication to the KS sensor.

After reading several threads where Ideal, Qwick, Shaeff and the many other veterans being exasperated with answering that question. 52 is not whether it has knocked once or a plethora, it is the status of KS circuit.

 

[suprahero]

OHHHHHHH, I finally understand!............:nuts:

I was thinking that it had detected knock. Now that makes me feel better about it. I still have to see why I have such low oil pressure though. Thanks for the clarification isnms.....................lol
