On the weekend I changed over my knock sensors and the loom. The sensors looked brand new, but the loom had a cracked plug on it, the rear one.
So I have had the check engine light coming on in my car regular as clock work. Every morning just as the engine gets up to operating temperature the check engine light came on P0327.
So what has me beat is why did it only come on when the car reached temperature? It would also go away after a while. I would say that since fixing the issue the car feels a lot better to drive.
Would the ECU pick up a voltage spike and " turn off " the faulty sensor relying on only the one? Does the car operate in closed loop while warming up then look for the knock sensor?
Don't get me wrong I am happy the have fixed the issue, and to have 2 x spare knock sensors in good nick to hock off!
