I've been fighting a code for the front knock sensor. I traced the wiring back to the ECU and it has good continuity. I replaced the sensor once and the code came back after 50 miles. I returned and replaced the sensor two more times and the code kept coming back. I spliced in a new pig tail and the code came back.
In a fit of desperation I did a ghetto splice from the rear knock sensor to the front knock sensor pig tail, and the code is not coming back after ten miles.
I do not have an occiloscope (sp?) to verify the actual signal passed by the sensor.
Question: did I install three bad cheap knock sensors from O'Reilly's? Should a genuine OEM sensor solve this headache?
