Does anybody know how sensative the knock sensor is suposed to be???
I don't have alot of expirience testing them so I am unsure of my findings.
The manual says to tap on the right exhaust manifols and watch the scanner for indication of knock.
The manual also says to tap near the sensor.
I get nothing rapping on the exhaust manifold with my pliers but when I rap on the block right beside the sensor; the scanner does not display yes for a knok but the timing does retard, and the scanner shows the knok retard in degrees.
When I rap right on the sensor it displays a knok most times.
I would have thought the sensor to be more sensative then that .
Can somebody with experience please comment. Do you think that is normal responce? I don't want to spend $100 on a sensor if I don't need one.
Thanks
