October 9, 20187 yr Uploaded is a picture. Is it an easy fix? I saw a youtube video that said they just cleaned theirs real good and it worked fine, i bought a cheap obd 2 sensor and i have a list of other things it tested for

October 9, 20187 yr Yes it will make it work a LOT better. Without it you are in limp mode for ignition timing. The knock sensor protects the engine from poor quality gasoline or other causes of detonation. GD

October 10, 20187 yr No - never buy that Chinese junk from autozone. Here's a smokin deal on an OEM JECS sensor: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-UNISIA-JECS-KNOCK-SENSOR-P-N-22060-AA031/332812539727 GD

Went ahead and ordered that bad boy. Thank you so much for lookin out Edited October 10, 20187 yr by Bigsky
October 11, 20187 yr Author I think i found a prior post abot where the sensor is, my chilton sucks and doesnt give good descriptions on the location i am hoping this will fix it. I will wrench on it this weekend. According to my manual i have 2 sensors possibly?
October 13, 20187 yr It doesn’t have two knock sensors. it’s really easy. One 12mm bolt and done. 10 minutes if concurrently sipping a beer. find the FSM from Subaru online and use the chiltons for kindling. They’re free and easy to find. Or get more picture grabs online, it’s really easy and will give you the torque value and orientation and location. FSM: ideally you get a 1996 Impreza FSM but any 95-98 legacy or Impreza 2.2 will suffice for the knock sensor job.

Same exact code. So i take it there is another problem?

Lol glad i didnt buy it. Ill take a picture of my old knock sensor and maybe yall can tell what was wrong with it. I didnt see any cracks. A bit of corrosion. And ill take a pic of the installed knock sensor tomorrow to double check i installed it correctly. I just did what the prior one was. But maybe that one was installed wrong...?
October 14, 20187 yr It's just looking for a simple resistance on the single wire. Probably a harness connector problem or melted wire, etc. You can find all the digital factory manuals over on sl-i.net. just google for them.
