Oil pressure switch - the knock sensor is under (behind) the intake manifold stay.

 

right. oil pressure sender

 

That is the oil pressure sensor.

 

"The screw from the top of the sensor' thats what i saw upon inspection...
but sounds like not the knock sensor.

 

anymore.

 

where the other end connected to....

 

The above pix is the knock sensor! I think lancershop sells them for about $89.

If its easy to replace (I'm assuming its hard to get too), I would spend the $89 to replace it then log your runs see if it still knocks. Atleast you know its not the sensor and something else.

I'm also wondering if the oil pressure sending unit might have caused false information to the ECU causing the irregular knocks.....another thought is do what the other guy did, fix that sensor and log couple of runs also before going with the knock sensor replacement...just my .2 cents.

 

^ i was able to fix and re connect above pix....now i need to log.

 

dude that is the oil pressure sending unit

 

anyone know if it will cause knocks?

 

Did you log any runs? if you don't like using Mitsu logger, I have Evo scan. I'll be here until Thurs if you need it.
