So, As part of my modding exploits i have found need to remove the knock sensors from the engine block (was planning to do this when i got my kennebell anyways.). I am removing because i need the extra room in my valley to fit a new manifold i have aquired, and with full knowledge that i am removing one of my vehicles engine safety features. My concern is if i need to make some form of eliminator, or if i am suck paying $700 for a custom tune.
In regards to making an eliminator, would it be as easy and cutting the existing wiring harness for the sensors and just wiring the ends of the four wires togeather (in the pairs that they goto the knock sensors) to show a full circut? or is there a measure of resistance that i need to fake as well? Knowing how the knock sensors opperate would be a huge step towards figuring out how to fake one.
thanks guys!
p.s. Transmission is still down and im waiting for TCI to send me a new torque converter.
