    The money light is on for P0325!
    I will do my best to explain the operation of the knock sensor that is used in most modern vehicles and I will demonstrate on my 2000 Honda Accord how to easily switch one out.
    There are many ways to "skin the cat" and these are the methods that I use. Any criticisms or alternate methods posted in the comments are welcome, just keep it civil.

      Was kind of sad. The end of an era for me, really. Had it for 10 years and literally put blood and sweat into it. A young father purchased it and I'm glad that he now has a reliable ride.
      Thank you for the kind comment!

      The cool thing about these Hondas is that there isn't a giant learning curve working between the B, D, H or F series platforms other than the twin and single cams.

    I took my car to a muffler shop in Chicago because I had my check engine light on...They told me that I needed a new "knock sensor" ... They said they do not work on those. I have to take my car to a mechanic. I thought to myself...I thought you guys were mechanics.

    where did you buy the rebuild parts or kit for the f23 your working on? I have a f23a5 (dx) that is burning alot of oil and getting ready to rebuild with some friends of mine.

    • @ktecgarage

      Company named Evergreen Engine. I purchased their f23a1 kit from Amazon. Try eBay Motors as well.

    What would happen if the Valve adjustment gap is slightly too tight on any cylinder? Would that cause a knock?

    • @ktecgarage
      @ktecgarage  3 месяца назад

      Depending on whether it's is the intake or exhaust valve, it might cause backfires and/or misfires. Not sure about pre-ignition.

    Can I install a knock sensor on a honda block that doesn't have one? And where on the engine are alternative spots?

    • @ktecgarage
      @ktecgarage  Год назад

      Maybe??? Honda puts them under the intake, so maybe you can find an unused mounting point and tap it to fit. I'm assuming you have a PCM that can read the signal and retard the timing.

    Hi, Thanks I have a '02 Acura RSX, with the 3025 code, and 1457, which is emissions. Is it possible these inter related? And with a new sensor, Do you just use the factory replacement$$ or if an aftermarket one is OK, I see an aftermarket with a 3 yr replacement warranty. My local mechanic say aftermarket ok.?? Thanks

    • @ktecgarage
      @ktecgarage  3 месяца назад

      I had an aftermarket knock sensor that only lasted a year. OEM is usually best, but if you have a warranty and don't mind swapping it out, you should be fine. P1457 is a problem with the gas tank evap system and I don't see how that could be related.

      @@ktecgarage Ok thanks! Both problems came up at around the same time, and thats why I asked. Actually I was hoping it was related lol
      Swapping the sensor it will require me to remove the intake manifold. I just put a new starter last year , and removed the manifold then to get to it. I used a new gasket as well then. Do I need to replace that as well , again? Just wanting to order everything together. Thanks!!

    • @ktecgarage
      @ktecgarage  3 месяца назад

      Ah. K series. If I did it myself, I'd try to reuse the gasket. The right thing to do is replace it.

      Throttle cable not adjusted right or a vacuum leak would be my 1st thoughts. Make sure you didn't miss a hose.

      Ok. If it was idling normally before, then I would bet on a vacuum leak somewhere.
