gday all

Cheers checked them , that was the issue , one of the wires running from battery to that little black box had no continuity. Replaced it with new wire and terminals and she fired .
However with me messing with the battery terminals I think something else has blown , it won't start and now I...
gday all
my son was replacing the alternator on his petrol 1993 80 series , while doing this , the positive wire came in contact with earth and a lot of sparks was produced.
now the car will not start, it turns over but will not fire, there seams to be no spark
cheers in advance for your help
Finally figured it out , thanks to bigredmachine
Turns out it was a faulty knock sensor, what are the odds of buying 2 brand new knock sensors and 1 of them is faulty.
Thanks all for your help and input
although, when we first bought the car it threw a code 52 (front KS) turns out it was that exact same problem you had, so i rewired it and no more code 52 . however it then started to throw code 55 (rear KS) and i still cant figure out why, the next step is to look down the spark plug holes to...
I have just done this and it hasn't thrown a cel as yet , it's only a band aid fix hey , I plan to find out what the issue is , but at least we can drive not in limp mode .
What makes it hard to understand is the car runs like a dream , awesome to drive
cheers mate
i have checked the sensors to make sure there is no continuity, i have also purchased new (after market) KS
we have tried another ECM from a friends car ,same model and year
There is continuity between ECM and KS connector
There is continuity between earth and the shielding
There is no continuity between earth and KS connector.
On the rear KS I had to extend the wiring by 4 to 5 inches, it is not sheilded , I wouldn't have thought that would be an issue would it?
I don't have another one unfortunately , I'm going to try to test the one we have .
I will check out the cable I've read this can also be an issue.
My son is away with the car until Friday, I will check these things out then
Thanks heaps
