New Fault On The Brief

[Jazmac]

Hi all

Got a new fault on the brief.

Basically the car was running fine after a cylinderhead rebuild in sept due to lossing coolant and over heating, ran it for over 500miles problem free prior to going north for 2 weeks where the car has been square wheeled for the two weeks in the drive while i was on holiday.

Came back sat tried to turn it over but had flat battery, charged the battery all day sun and then stuck it back in the car tonight when i got home from the office, turned it over started first time but by the time i got out to close the bonnet and jump back in the cockpit i now have the check engine light, so i jumped back out and connected the black ECU connectors Fault Code 22 - (Knock Sensor) shows up checked the sensor connection for the knock sensor under the altenator seems fine tried to clear the ECU using the green and black plugs but it never cleared.

Any ideas what can cause this? as i cant believe it has failed just sitting in the drive not being used.

sensor under alternator is the oil switch

knock sensor is black with a 2 pin injector type plug on it

hmm the diagram i see for sensor locations identified it as the sensor under the altinator, and other forums talk about removal usinf a long reach extension bar and a socket. will need to have another look.

update

seems to have fixed itself, engine light no longer staying on.

Just wondering if some moisture / dampness got into the sensor during the 2 weeks of no use, then the small drive i went on sunday night must have put some heat back into it and dry it out.

anyway running now sweet as a nut.
