Oh got a prob...the car runs normally but after driving it around i smelt something getting out of the car....and i popped the hood...the alternator, where the positive screws onto it, the plastic piece was smoking and started to burn....no fire but the alt was hot as F*ck....The Idiot light for battery/alternator was on and it would flux between 12 to 13 volts.......i thought it was shorting out on the inside, so i replaced the alt and the battery, which was dead and not holding a charge(I thought the alt could have been working over time to try to charge the battery...).....i drove it after the change but it Didn't get scalding hot as the other one did....it just got a little warm/slightly hot....i was thinking that the engine could be running a little warm....Should i use a thermostat?...cause i put one in there...even though it came without one....Also should i upgrade radiator? At least to a aluminum replacement...cause i know mine was the original...and kinda rusty on the inside........Any ideas?

Also i have a tapping noise above 2500 rpm...i hear that is a common problem...i'll do some research and find out what it is...:]
I was thinking that the tapping noise could be the timing or the spark plugs.....i'm gonna reput it in timing and put in my msd spark plug wires and some new spark plugs...
ok got it in time...still have the tapping....i noticed it ONLY does it when i am driving it.....but if i rev it in park it makes no tapping at all...weird...
it was fine when i put it on....and its coming from the engine...i was thinking the spark plugs could be out of gap......i was reading something that...
hahah yeah...she's running really good...i have a CEL/diagnostic code...so I'm gonna go hook it up to a scanner at Oreily's...i have hook ups there so sweet...actually i think it's free...lol.....Well that noise i noticed is really not a Loud tap...it is just a loud splatter noise coming out that tail pipe when i get above 2500 rpm...I have Full on oil...so no oil burning...the exhaust is clean as a whistle.....I'll figure it out....eventually....:]....i think it's just the exhaust on it...or maybe not...i dunno...

so does this mean that it is bad or not connecting....OR....does it mean that it is detecting something...

holy shite....it looks new on mine...i'm gonna change the spark plug and wires FIRST...just to make sure....lol
but when i start the motor it has no light and then when i rev about 2500 it comes on and stays on...weird...well i guess if i fix it we'll know what to do next time...
BD: I had one ordered in because the dealership misunderstood me. I was inferring to the connect from the harness and they ordered it I guess to shut me up. These things look like new shiny silver coins. When they are new.
Mine is a bit yellowed.
I wouldn't think you could use a gm knock sensor because it's gm. But if you have any pics of it we could tell you. But i doubt it. It's a knock sensor. You need to know it's working.
