2 Knock Sensors BypassedPosting this as a new thread ( as well as my old thread ). Sorry for any duplication.
My first knock sensor died. I spliced the wires behind the glove box and the code went away, and vehicle exited limp mode and drives fine.
Car needs other work now, most are beyond my skill set, tempermant, and time; and too expensive to justify having a shop do them.
My Question:
In the event the 2nd. knock sensor goes out, has anyone bypassed both knock sensors ?
If not, is it possible to do it and stay out of limp mode ?
For me, if the 2nd. sensor fails and both can be bypassed its worth the risk if the engine later blows ( 1 day or 20 years ). She's been a good car but I'm not sentimental about it...I realize this is not the preferred method, but its where I'm at. Knowing if this can be done will help me evaluate my position to keep a bit longer or pull the ripcord.
Anyone ?

 

It is not possible to bypass both knock sensors.

 

Even if it was possible, I wouldn't r commend it.

The cam timing is actuated in real time for advancing and retarding.

I'm also running both banks on my only good knock sensor which is also not good long term. IMO

Yeah, yeah, I know I need to get it done right. Lol
