Greetings,
I'm in need of help in figuring out out how to get the wiring right for the knock sensor, 88 ST-165, please.
The CEL shows code 52, I clear it by disconnecting the power - When the car is started, all is well, the CEL stays off until I press the gas and about 1400RPM it comes back on, stop the engine, short T-E1,check, and code 52 is back.
The knock sensor was replaced with a new one,the code was present with the old one. and wiring to it looks like crap. It has one black wire stuck firmly into it, a splice with what look like a secure plastic housed crimp connection, and about 2 inches of exposed stranded wire (exposed after I took the electrical tape off it). There is a 1/8 inch bit of braided wire sheath hanging that I thought is supposed to be the ground? I have no idea what the connection off the plastic plug is supposed to look like. I did a continuity check at the plug end that goes into the knock sensor and back to the KNK terminal (with the wiring block removed from the ECU) and it is good. I was told that what is needed to be replaced is the wire with RG-58A/U coax braided cable and run the outer braid to ground, inner to the sensor. Your help as always is greatly appreciated.
