where is the knock sensor? and would it cause the car to idle roughly then die, or turn over, fire a couple times, but not start?

I have N/A, btw

I come from a land down under
A bit further back

It's sort of round and has a wire and plug in the middle and is screwed into the block.

remember though, if your turbo you have two of them:evil2:

only the n/a has one. but someone here(i think it might be shaeef, but i might be wrong) has/makes new knock sensor wire kits. if the sensor isnt bad after you test it, the wiring might be bad and deserve a good upgrade!

sorry ij. didnt rear far enough down.(been out wrenching and the brew has got ta me!)

just be careful with th ks and try testing it first. the toyota ones are like$120, but i did read somewhere about being able to rewire mg knock sensors into there.

do your research!:evil2:
