92 KA24DE Wiring Question

[trulyphly710]

I cant find where that is suppose to plug to. and i was wondering if it is supposed to be plugged anywhere? and if that could cause the car not to fire as im not getting any firing in the wires or the plugs

THanks

looks like it plugs in above the thermostat area of cooling system.

it looks like the one plug right below the one you circled in yellow. But i just cant seem to find where mine would connect to.

Is there a wire that comes from some where else to connect to it? Thanks

[vancouverbc]

You need to click picture a couple of times to get full size. there is a wire coming straight from the back of the engine. black and white wires. might be the detonation sensor wire. a couple things have black and white wires.

[vancouverbc]

knock sensor/detonation sensor are in the right place.

So the car should still start right up right?

yeah, from my ltd knowledge, yes. find out how far the spark gets to find faulty component.

I recorded a video of the problem. here is the link.

Do you know what could be wrong?

[ilovecoupes]

your timing could be offor your fuel pump might not be kicking on

do a quick search

[trulyphly710]

the timing is all lined up correctly. If you see the video. you see taht the timing light doesnt come on though and i'm having trouble trying to figure out what would caused that. already looked up alot of stuff. I will try and check the fuel pump tomorrow when i get to my car. i am trying to get as much info as possible before i go work on it again.

Thanks

What are other possibliities?

[LayNLow240]

did you just swap the engine in? if so what year is it?bad coil? bad cas/distributor? if you DID swap it in, make sure your fuel lines didnt get mixed up.although i couldnt tell, was the timing light hooked up to plug wire #1 with tps disconnected?

[trulyphly710]

I had just rebuilt the block. and i put everything back together. everything was lined up perfectly but i am running across this problem now. do u mean the fuel lines by the rail?

Thanks

according to this knock sensor is important

there are 2 fuel lines that attach to the fuel rail on the intake manifold. if you get them mixed up then it will cause a no start problem because one is fuel in and the other is fuel return(to tank).so obviously, if you had the fuel return to the fuel in on the rial, then it wont be getting any gas.

The plug connects to the harness for the knock sensor.

The motor should still start up without the knock sensor in the circuit. Check the output of the coil for a spark; if no spark, check the harness connectors for the coil, power transistor, and the crank angle sensor.

[trulyphly710]

i thought the crank angle sensor was in the distributor?

Do you have a picture of what you mean by this? Thanks again!

[gthammers]

I just had to fish MY knock sensor harness out from where it was buried under the manifold. It was making me crazy to have the damn plug sitting there and no mate for it. So it was back to the FSM to be sure that was what was missing.

Yes, the crank angle sensor is in the distributor.
