If it's a tiny 1 wire connector next to the egr valve on the inlet that'll be the knock sensor. You need that connected other wise you car will be forever in limp mode. The knock sensor is usually black and round with a bolt through it. It's just bolted to the engine block under neath the plastic water pipe at the back of the engine. Your car should have a knock sensor. All 1.4 16v did i believe. | |

when i plug the 1.6 ecu into my 1.4 loom the engine turns but won't start, am i right in thinking the knock sensor cuts the fuel to the engine and stops it starting? and if my car does not have a knock sensor because it is an older car that may be why it won't run with the newer 1.6 ecu becuase it thinks its missing? | |

the loom and ecu is from a 1996 corsa, engine is from an x reg car, i'm not sure what the knock sensor is? will my car have a knock sensor or is it only on later cars? | |

I believe some have 1 wire knock sensors others have 3 wires. Could be wrong. I know on some you hve to chnge some wires in the blue plug to make up for the difference. It would help if we knew the fault codes. | |

there are 3 differnt types of loom, main difference being the knock sensor wiring. | |

just thinking if he has the older loom and the newer engine it might be different somehow | |

that was with an earlier 1.4 ecu (94) with a later 1.4 ecu loom (99) | |

Loom is the same, ECU is different. | |

My car is using 1.4 loom but 1.6 ecu as it's got a better map. EGR valve sensor t the back of the inlet manifold cn be disconneted without probs. Mine has. The vacuum valve part of the egr near the pasenger side suspension turret can be disconnected (hose wise) but not electrically as it'll bring up a fault code. | |

The other sensor blanked of is next to the egr on the standard inlet. | |

Hi all, I have just fitted a x16xe into my corsa but put in on the 1.4 loom and ecu, its also got debalis throttle bod's on it, |
