I started getting eratic knock the other day. Mainly in the first 10 min of driving. Big knock spikes or locking at 43 counts. All at light acceleration. Mash the throttle...no knock. After the 10 min, it acts normaly.
So after talking to NCgalant we suspect the knock sensor is going bad. It's of unknown vintage, got it when my other one melted to sealant out of it. So it takes me 2 hours to get to the damn thing and it looks fine. Nothing's melted. I suppose it could be bad inside. I order one from Advance and it should be here tomorrow. My questions: 1--anybody experience something similiar? 2--the sensor is a GP sorenson (sp?) the guy at Advance said he thought it came with just a pigtail. Do the colors match the stock connector, so I just have to splice it together. Or do I have to dig up a schematic from somewhere? -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

QUOTE (turbohcar @ May 9 2008, 08:31 PM) Gotta be honest, even though I love work and all, the GP Sorensen products are CRAP!! Recently though Advance got it's head out of it's butt and finally made the switch to all Borg-Warner products which are way better than GP. Might give Advance a call and see if they have a Borg-Warner sensor you could order and compare to the OE. still gotta be cheaper than the one at the stealership... and I heard the same good things about borg warner stuff... I also used to work at advance and agree that the old GP stuff was garbage... good to hear that they finally got their shit together. -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!
