Is that's why my speedometer doesn't work due to a bad knock sensor. So once the knock sensor is fixed, that the speedometer will work again? That would be great.

Heh, he's just as far off
I was watching office space so that line was in my head.
If you speedo doesn't work chances are its the short section that comes off the tranny. Pretty cheap fix and really easy.
Such common problems, knock sensors, the wiring and speedo cables.
Get a set of knock sensors off ebay, use a 27mm LONG socket to remove the old one and put the new one back.

Hey i was reading about how the knock sensor issue will throw a code 52 and retard timing and the question came to mind: how is it gonna retard the timing on a distributed engine?? I know it will do it on the turbo model (experience) but how on the N/A?
The spark is still controlled via the ECU. The means of delivery is the difference. The ECU reads the cam position (and several other things) decides what advance should be run and then signals the igniter sooner.

K so what your saying here is that the ignitor on the ge model can control the timing, although it has a distributor?? I was sure this only could work with the coil pack system....... due to the fact that you can change the timing yourself with the distributor>> please elaborate
and where is the cam position sensor on the ge??
The distributor only controls where the spark goes... The distributor gets it's spark from the coil which gets it's signal from the ignitor. The ignitor is controlled by the ECU. This isn't a magneto on a lawnmower engine.
The CPS is built into the distributor.

alright i see i see!! Yeah i never really understood alot of the timing stuff. I only really had to deal with it when i did the head gasket in my n/a.
I just found out that the knock sensor for a 1993 Camry V6 is the same part number thru NAPA auto parts. I called around to some local junk yards and found one for fifteen dollars,so I got all 3 they had.
