jdm h22 knock sensor

[cincy90h22]

when i got my jdm h22 the only thing that was bad was the knock sensor. not that the sensor was bad, the part where you clip the harness on was busted off! so i never hooked it up because i searched the aftermarket world, ie pep boys autozone etc.. and honda and no one had a listing for it. besides the fact that the ecu throws a code.. is a knock sensor really necessary for performance. i mean will it run different without having it hooked up? some people say it doesnt hurt, some people i talk to say i need it? who should i believe?

Well heres what i did for another dude who i knew. We didnt have anything no sensors available so we used the original one. YOu take some wire you make a nice thick bulge and stuff it in the connector as far in as possible inside the part where it broke off right in the hole of the knock sensor. Take some jb weld and go all around the wire and put some electrical tape over it and let it settle for 7-8 hours and place it on there and dont pull it at all and it worked for him. To this very day he has yet to have a problem.

just go to a junkyard and cut off a green clip from the engine harness. then plug that clip in and wire it up to the ecu

if your runing an ecu that requires a knock sensor then yes you need it if not your car will run like ass. you can use any other honda know sensor, like a 98 accord ex sensor

Im sayin he just broke the clip off it would be easir for him to just jb weld it to see what happens first by shoving the wire in there it would save him money rather than just goin to the junkyard to cut a wire . When he can just go through the steps ive taken shove the wire in the sensor hole jbweld it so that the wire stays snug in there and wire it up tot he ecu and thats it. If you dont connect the knock sensor it will act retarded and not run right thanks renr.

jb weld is your friend

is it the clip on the ahrness that is gone? or the clip on the sensor?

i am understanding clip on teh sensor....meaning the sensor is bad.....
and to buy one you need to go to Honda or the junkyard. this isnt a GM ya know.

run a P28--------> no knock sensor

[cincy90h22]

i have the clip on the harness.. its the clip on the sensor thats busted. as of today i will be running a chipped p06, i dont think it has a knock sensor, but im not sure. i was just curious, since the p13 needs one, will it run like crap without the knock sensor.

so you mean to say your knock sensor is broken. if your p06 is converted to p28 spec its basically a p28 now.
without hte knock sensor you may have retarded timing below 5k rpm meanig it will feel boggy, above 5k things will be pretty mcuh normal when its floored.
