cidion Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I know where it goes, and that I shouldn't over-tighten the sensor. But...How do I tell how much is to much? A torque wrench? or just guess? I don't want to break it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The proper torque is 17.4+/-2.2 ft*lb(f). The only way I know of to measure that torque properly is with a torque wrench. And note that "The extraction area of the knock sensor cord must be positioned at a 45 °angle relative to the engine rear." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 "The extraction area of the knock sensor cord must be positioned at a 45 °angle relative to the engine rear." Huh? Anyone able to translate that into English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manarius Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The transmission and the knock sensor wire have to make a T. Well, sort of. Not quite like a T..like mid way. W | i / | T r / | r e / | a | n | n | y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Yah I think something might have gotten lost in the translation there. Maybe this pic will help: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olnick Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks, guys. The logic and the intent are crystal clear--but the writing!!! Last time I tried to position an area I couldn't get a grasp on it 'cause it kept slipping through my fingers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCR583 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I just replaced the sensor on my 98 OBW with 2.5 and didnt know anything about the wiring issue. I did for the most part reattach it how it originally was. Seems to be working. Check engine light is gone and has power again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
