Ok its been awhile and I don't have much room to work with underneath the car where on earth is it? using OBD 1 so its 1 knock. I'm assuming you can only get it from the bottom?

thanks!

There are TWO LOCATIONS for a knock sensor, OBD1 only uses one of them. You may have two in there, but only one should be hooked up. I have my fuctioning one hooked up on the starter side of the engine. Depending on how your wiring was done, yours might be on the opposite side.

Im guessing you recieved the Dynamat I sent you?

sure did thanks!

I have no idea if this will fix it or not, I just ran the car at night and no sparks from the plug wires

I have a feeling the car will be sitting again even earlier then last year...

The Knock sensor has nothing to do with the spark only Retard, If you don't have any spark that's not the answer.

Kid me if you want but to diagnose a vehicle over the Internet is close to very hard, a bad Knock sensor will not make a car, not start. I don't want you to throw parts at it like I've done in the past. Check All the grounds.
