solid mounts

[suprafanatic90t]

just got the car running after 6 monthes of waiting on parts. put solid motormounts on it b/c old ones were shot and didn't feel like paying for the new ones. just wondering if the solid mounts will cause the knock sensor to go off. i put a different knock on it so i don't know if the sensors is bad or the mounts are doing it. also they are both rewired. so i don't think that is it. any help would be appreciated.

thanks danny.

Make sure that the sensor is torqued down properly. I've heard that if it is not, it can, and usually does, cause a fault.

Solid mounts do not trigger the knock sensors.

ok thanks for the quick replies. i will have to check the wiring then if that isn't it i will need sensors.

well i fixed the problem, sort of, the wire was not making good contact on the sensor. the car is fine when i start it up no codes at all, but when i rev the enginge or drive it the code reappears(code 52). it comes on at about 2000-2500 rpm. i had the motor balanced at the engine shop so i don't think it is that. it does have a vibration on hard acceleration but it doesn't seem any worse than normal to me. could it be a bad sensor or is my motor just shaking that much to set it off?

I had solid mounts, i absolutly hated them worse frikin thing on the planet. they vibrated the crap outta my car they were anoying to drive daily. I couldnt go past 3k before it felt like my car was going to fall apart. I know this sounds stuipd but its a preference, ill keep riping up those stock ones before i ever think about putting the solid ones back in.

shaeff: thanks for the reply but what i ment was that the front knock sensor was not plugged in all the way. after i pushed the connector on all the way the code stopped untill the rpms reach about 2500-3000. i was ust wondering if that is a sine of a bad sensor.

z1turbo: i really don't know what you mean about the mounts. mine are just a little rougher than stock unless the car has a miss and then it is hell. i can barely feel it when i am cruising. the only time i really feel it is when i'm accelarating hard.

.....untill the rpms reach about 2500-3000. i was ust wondering if that is a sign of a bad sensor........

Mine did the same thing. I rewired them & that solved the problem. Do the rewire.
