I posted over here...but have yet to receive a response:

zerothread/282494

I have searched. (Demonstrated by the links mentioned in that other thread that I found via my searching to learn what I needed to do and get me to this point)

Short form of the story to get to here is:

I need to know where the ECM side of the knock sensor harness is located on my 96 J30. I am not sure what it looks like. I know there are two wires. I know the knock is in the middle of the V in the engine and i'd have to take off the upper and lower plenum to get to it. I THOUGHT due to the 300zx info and pics that it would be at the back but as shown in my picture on the other message that the harness I circled in red was it (two wires and at the back and looked like it headed down to where the knock would be). According to the EGR 400 code that was thrown after I disconnected it I'm guessing it is not the knock sensor.

Now I want to be 100% sure. Since I was unable to get the harness (dealer said they can't get it anymore, out of production or discontinued or whatever) I have a new knock installed in the location suggested in the 300zx websites. I got a harness that fit the knock sensor end from a you-pull-it yard (although it isn't the knock harness...but it will work). So I just have bare wires on the other end. I need to connect that to the ECM wires. To do that I need to somehow know with certainty which harness that is.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
