where is the knock sensor

[v_lestat]

it definately worked.

you can feel the increase in power during acceleration its not massive but its a free power upgrade.

there was also an increase of MPG, i saw a definate increase of 30-40 miles per tank of gas.

negative side effects - possibly more cold engine idle knock....
it sounds like the knock is louder when starting my car up in the morning.

fix? hook the knock sensor up to a toggle switch maybe ?

i always use Super Unleaded (with ethanol) since i'm in Iowa.
here in iowa 'regular' is more expensive than the super unleaded w/ ethanol.
and regular is lower octane also.
but the last couple of tanks i used premium just to see if there was a difference.
and there was a slight difference in horse power.
BUT
there was a large difference in Engine Temperature, which is to be expected when using higher octane gas.

overall, i think over time there could be a negative effect by unplugging the sensor because of increased cold engine knock
but it could be just my motor too ????
