knock sensor help!!! Desperate
Please do not respond back with the whole search thing... I have about 15 different web pages open and I can't find what I am looking for...
I have my intake mani off and I am trying to test the knock sensor...
I understand the resistance needs to be between 93 and 107k ohms and when I tap on the engine that it should create voltage...
My problem is that I am retarded and dont know exactly how to test for that...
do i need to have the knock sensor in the motor or out of the motor?
What should I be touching to test the resistance?
Could someone explain step by step for dummies on how to test the knock sensors....
I have bought new wire harnesses and multiple new knock sensors and I cant figure out what is wrong.
PLEASE HELP

Have you just installed headers? They can hit the frame and cause false knoks.

Your issue is most likely being caused by a poor connection at the wiring harness connector, The Female Pins inside the MAIN harness connector are most likely spread/damaged/corroded/dirty. Carefully examine them. MAKE SURE that the metal tongue inside the female pin that makes contact with the male pin has a nice tight grip on the male pin.
Here is an example of a damaged female pin vs a new set of pins:
The pins on the right are BAD!!
