Hi,
So the wifey overheated her 2001 QX4
, and after seeing it was leaking from around the bellhousing in the rear , I did a little research on that leak location and found it was either a head gasket
/ crossover pipe
/ or a hose deep inside under the lower intake manifold. Took to mechanic they said head gasket !! but fear not we can put a new JDM motor in it for $4400 !!!
in a car worth $2500 I don't think so ....
had it towed home , and when I finally got the nerve to look under the hood I was pissed , they didn't even remove the lower intake ....
How can you tell if it's not the hose ?? Well we used mirrors the mechanic said
..........
I got my tools out and removed the lower intake,
IT WAS THE HOSE !!!! BUT
I or the mechanic working on my 2001 QX4 broke the terminal connection that goes to knock sensor , when removing the FI harness, it's attacached to that !!
I removed the sensor and am trying to figure out which wire goes to which terminal for when I reinstall ,
I cut back the insulation and I see what I think are a brown wire and a less brown wire (white originally ?)
but I am unsure of which goes on which terminal of the KS , any help would be appreciated. I have a pigtail on it's way but I need to know what wires go the which ( your photos may help) thank you in advance
HELP !!!
