Thread: What is this plug at the end of the injector harness

but if its unplugged doesnt the car run on the knock maps?

never ran one in any of my motors

yea but you prolly had a calum ecu Or something like that where the knock maps were copyed from the main maps, so it wouldnt effect you.

correct

heh

this is true, but this clip is at the other end, not the knock sensor it self

I dont even have a knock sensor in my motor. Never had one on this either. I cant remember when i pulled the codes a while ago if it came up or not. Should i just tape it up and hide the wires now? or wire it back together?

I am in the livingroom making up a new plug for mine too. It is broken. I want to upload a pic, but flickr is taking very long. Gotta upload it to facebook. My Photobucket album is FULL!

What is this plug? Is this the cause of my 0304?

Yep, definetly for the knock sensor. Mine had one of the two on the male side of the clip broken as well. I didnt know it was for the knock sensor up until i tore down my engine harness to do my wire tuck and prep it for the aem install, eliminate all the unneeded wires, and change wires over for the map sensor and stuff like that.

I never had any negative effects. At the knock sensor you will only have one wire connecting. But on those you will have two wires. One wire on the female side right after that clip has a wire thats spliced in with the other with some type of diode or resistor or something under this nasty looking tar and tape. I would make sure its all wired up correctly when you put it back together for the knock sensor to work properly.

I have ran without a knock sensor plugged in many many times without any negative affect. Your car wont run on the knock map at all if it doesnt see any knock. lol. So if you want it to work properly then you need to wire it up just like it is. Dont eliminate any major part of the harness to do the repair.

I ran with problems in the knocksensor and didnt even noticed till I scanned my ECU like 2 years after the swap, then changed the knock sensor but that wasnt the problem so I left it with the code still there and it ran with no issues...
