My '93 Loyale knocks when the revs rises over 3000 (not when I try to get torque from the bottom), so I tried to check the knock sensor, but there isn't where it supposed to be, there's just the empty thread in the block... Is this normal? Does all the Injection models have to have a knock sensor or not necessarily?

 

(I use RON 95 or 97 depending on my wallet)

 

 

Thanks

It should have one I believe. You can trick the ECU circuit by substituting the sensor with a resistor. Someone may have done that.

If I remember right only the MPFI turbo EA82s had the knock sensor.

93 Loyale is SPFI

 

NO KNOCK SENSOR.

 

Run higher octane or pull back the timing a bit.

93 Loyale is SPFI

 

 

Here in Chile there was a version available with MPFI (non-turbo) I have pictures to prove it!

 

 

Thanks to all of you, it seems it never used a knock sensor because there is not a failure code at the led in the ECU...

 

I will try to adjust the timing.
