Well my latest changing of the shocks on my sons '90 4Runner 4x4, the drivers half shaft, steering damper, fan bracket pulley that just went out, radiator that was needing it, these last two weekends.
Now, the old faithful knock sensor cel has resurfaced. It does not knock or ping on light or hard acceleration. I am using premium to indeed see if that did any good, did not so back to middle grade pump gas. I got the car where it pretty much purrs at idle and runs fine. Uses gas like vintage 60's classic though and I guess this is the nature of the beast? Timing is right on, 10degress jumpered and 8 unjumpered. I want to know from my fellow yota owners, if I were to get a new knock sensor, new wire and just mount it somewhere in the engine compartment. Will this satisfy the ECU GODS???? I do not feel like taking off the top end. Tired of being the wkend mechanic.
Will this work? If you have any other suggestions, please, I would welcome them for sure
engine is 3vze? 6Cyl
