Alright guys,


I changed my knock sensor and I wired it all up after the engine light was still on for it. See this thread as to why.


I had the engine light still on, and my car no longer throttles up and down in RPM as it did before I replaced the sensor.

BUT! My car has been driving like crap. AND MY INSPECTION is THIS MONTH!

I wasn't going to worry about it until inspection time because getting my starter replaced and the knock sensor too cost me a dent in my wallet.


SO! I replaced my knock sensor, and I checked my engine codes. I had a BUNCH OF THEM! 8!

SO I unplugged the battery and kept driving, it cleared all but ONE!

p0325 - Knock sensor!

I just replaced the knock sensor?! Why does it say this code, and why does my car still run like ****? Wired wrong? idk???

Another theory is my Air intake tube. I had my Air Intake tube cut when the mechanic that helped me out to install the knock sensor was putting it in. He was kinda ghetto and just used Gorilla Glue branded tape to patch that up. It could be that isn't exactly "Sealing" any leaks.

Should I replace that first and see if that works?

If that doesn't, I'll try replacing the knock sensor again.

Also, take a look at this: (Could it be wiring/the hole in the other pic?)









What should I do, what should I check?

If I can get this fixed, I can go do my inspection!


(Sorry about the duplicate post, but not many people responded to my almost month old thread about the other issues, I tacked this on to it and nobody wanted to read it except 1 guy)

 

Could you cut down on the size of the pictures to at least 40%? It is very hard for me to see what is going on.

 

fixed. Pay attention to the stuff with purple circles/arrows, not the red. The red was from my original post about the car not starting

 

I've read of some having issues with non OE Knock sensors, not willing to there yet.

Have you checked for vac leaks, I think you removed the intake not long ago.
