98 I30, What are engine operation symptoms for a dead knock sensor? More>>

[zul8tr]

I have inquired with Nissan and Infiniti on the part #'s and they are different

When testing the correct sensor side prong to ground the ohm reading exceeds the 20M ohm scale of my digital VOM indicating no continuity plus I have the ECU code for the knock sensor. Presently there seem to be no indications of a drivability problem. Since the knock sensor will effect ignition advance and fuel economy what is the the default condition for the engine advance if the KS is dead?

I have checked the dealers for the knock sensor price and came up with the following:

98 Maxima 22060-30P00 Cost $120 98 I30 22060-31P01 Cost $195

Question is why are they different if they both have the V6 VQ30DE engine? I would like to buy the Maxima knock sensor based on price if the electric spec is the same.

After market jobbers in Orlando spec the same part # for 98 Max and the I30 so they do not recognize any difference.

Thanks for the help

I would call Joe at http://www.infinitipartsusa.com (forum sponsor and discount parts supplier) at 888-216-5328 to see if he knows the difference or tells you the same thing. There are also new knock sensors on eBay frequently selling for about $100 new in the box if you want to go that route after you find out your part number.
