Knock Sensor 22re question?
So I blew the motor in my toy and I had replaced it with the 2 wheel drive motor so I had to change to oil pan etc.. well long story short I got everything hooked up except the knock sensor it wouldnt hook up because the 2 wheel drive motor for some reason different have a hookup for the sensor my main concern is what is the purpose for the knock sensor besides having the check engine light on the truck runs great I was just wondering out of curiousity thanks!

Hm, I read somewhere the 2wd 22REs didn't even have a knock sensor. If the ecu expects a knock sensor, you need it. It's a primary sensor for determining timing. I know on my 3vze that if the knock sensor is missing or has failed, the ecu will retard the timing such that it has no power and poor gas mileage. Not sure if the 22re ecu does the same.
Bottom line, you want to use the sensor made for your vehicle - that's the only one that will work with the ecu. This thread has some knock sensor info, including info on repairing the connector if needed:
