knock sensor

[92CA18Hatchback]

Anyone in here know where to get a knock sensor for the ca? Will the one from my ka work? Also, would this sensor being bad be a cuase fo my engine running EXTREMELY rich?

Anyone? I have searched every local parts store for the 88 pulsar sensor and have had no luck finding one. Has anyone else bought a knock sensor?

no, it won't make it run rich. And you'll have to get a knock sensor from a Pulsar that had the 1.6L. But like I said, I doubt it's the knock sensor making you run rich. The knock sensor has no effect on fuel, only timing.

Why the one from the 1.6 litre? Shouldnt i use the one from the ca18de? That doesnt make sense.

yes bad knock sensor or bad connection/wiring on knock sensor will make the car run rich..knock sensor will retard the timming. which means that if there is a gas that cant be burned because of lack of timming.. yes it will be rich.

wouldnt the more important questions be Did you wire up the knock sensor??? what makes you think its bad??? remember you have to wire the knock sensor up separate
