Replacing the KS. The prices are all over the place on this part. From made in China $7 crazy and probably crap to who knows where? The Infiniti dealer wants $180+, crazy. I found a new Hitachi KN001 replacement for infiniti PN 22060P00 for $41 incl ship at Carid.com, , is that a good brand?
Any other recommended brands?

Thanks

I'd stick to your autozones/advance/oreilly/rock auto type places. They should come with a warranty too.

Better to use OEM electronic parts

But who manufactures OEM and at $195 that is a bit much and no warranty over the counter? I plan on selling the car in the next few months so the 1 year warranty at Rock Auto for the Hitachi KS at $45 delivered will have to do. Thanks for the advice.

Are you positive the knock sensor is at fault? The last time I had ODB2 reading showed me knock sensor, it turned out to be a vacuum leak......

Yes positive, when new one installed the knock sensor code did not return. Also the knock sensor ohm was way out of spec.
