Burnout: quote: that will not work. the ecu plugs are different and you will need to modify them to fit. you will also need a different sensor and swop the pin positions around for the knock sensor signal wire on the ecu plugs. | |

quote: not necessarily. just switch the wires round that goes to the sensor. both sensors have two wires, but on one of the looms the screed wire is used as an earth. cut the wire that comes from the sensor and wire up the plug the other way round. you will find there is two wires, one red and green, the other a screed. wire the red and green to the screed and the screed to the red and green coming from the loom. i.e switch the wires over. make sure you solder the contact or get a decent connection at least. then disconnect the battery for an hour before turning on the ignition to clear the fault codes. see if that works. (the above is a lot easier with the sensor removed btw:thumbs: as long as the ecu is from the same car as the loom (or same age car) then you shouldnt have to do anything else. if the above isnt true then you will need to do one more thing, but ill get to that if you need it let us know how you get on:thumbs: | |

yes that is the problem been to have it looked at today i need to get a wire loom off a 96 sport which has two wires going to the sensor instead of 1. :( | |

its likely it is the knock sensor. did you use the loom and ecu that came with the donor engine? if not then that could be the cause. the knock sensor wiring is different on certain corsa looms depending on wether its an x14 or x16. also the whole system was changed after 1997 which includes different sensors, wiring looms, and the pin position in the ecu for the signal wire is different. | |

I had the same problem on my 1995 corsa Sport 1.4 16V after doing an engine swap for another X14XE, diagnostic check came up witrh knock sensor, replaced the sensor and still the light was on. Checked all wiring and it was fine. i sold the car in the end but some1 told me it could be the crank postition sensor, Vauxhall didnt want to investigate the fault and told me to take the bulb out, lol, how useful | |

my corsa does this so i had this guy to come out and plug his little machine into my engine managment and he said it was my lambda sensor.... i replaced this and still the orange light comes on when i go back 4k revs its really annoying ... i wonder what else i can replace ??? | |

right im still not sure what is turning it on it only comes on when the car is moving but if i drive really steady keepin it under 2k revs it wont come on but as soon as i put my foot down an it goes past 3k it then turns on wat could be causing this. thanks ive done paper clip test an it come up as knock sensor does this sound right. |
