Updated knock sensor for a 91 L98???
I read something about a updated knock sensor for the older L98's. It was to be less sensitive. I cant seem to find that post again. Anyone have the part # for this, GM, Autozone, PEP Boys????
Thanks

As I recall, there was a discussion about a replacement knock module for the (don't quote me here) 86 through 89 L98s to reduce false knock counts. Gordon Kilibrew had suggested a less sensitive part number for replacement.

I remember a post a few weeks back about beginning at a certain year the ESC module was eliminated and the knock sensor talked directly to the ECM. Don't recall what year that kicked in though.
I have a hard enough time remembering which of my keys goes in the ignition. LOL

For some reason mine is super sensitive. If I barely tap on the headers either side it sets the sensor off. Just giving it a slight rev off idle I can pick up 1-3 counts and 3* of retard.
Jake - Is this a updated sensor or just a replacement (16038331)?
Thanks
