I didnt think it turned into duke bashing. They are somewhat slow, but they get mileage.

the knock sensor is attached to the Primary Ignition Module. It is the tube that inserts into the block with a rubber O ring sealing it. It plugs into the back of the ignition module.

Isnt that the crank sensor on a DIS? I have done some reading and I am beginning to think maybe MAP? Though I found an old post from 2006 where I state the same problem has been occurring for 3 to 4 years. So I have had this since 02 or 03. It may just be the NOS TBI I bought about that time. God knows how long it was setting some place and the plastic bag was cut open.

Yes - what he is calling the knock sensor is actually the crank position sensor.

Solotwo, have you put a good scan tool on the motor to see what it's saying?

No, $$ cost of a tool or cost to have the shop do it has kept it from being done.

Premium gas will do that. I have my formula to thank for my empty wallet.

Good idea. I will try to do that. Might be cheaper than map sensor?

I think my engine is running better than it has in years actually now that I've finally been able to give it the best quality parts and additives available. By no means is it a fast car but Im happy that my Muncie and clean engine almost always launch me past any stock single cam civics that are 10-15 years newer than my car. Basically my car runs like we are still in the 80s and I love that about it.


AND NO ONE can take that from me.

Yes I agree. I installed new tires on my car. Took the winter tires off and got Bridgestone RE960AS Pole position. They are 60 series so a little short on the dia. But the car runs real good with them.
