KiNGKAOS Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I just bought a 1998 Legacy L 4dr. A few questions: The CEL was on, I rented a scanner n the codes were: P0325(knock sensor 1), n P0440(EVAP). The car runs good(I didn't test drive it, dew to it not being reg. n insured.) but I revved it up n held it at higher rpm's for a short time... I'm gonna replace the knock sensor. I read on here the cheap $25 "ebay" ones are fine to use. But, I found this one for $10.79: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KS96-Knock-Sensor-/380369255802?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item588fc63d7a&vxp=mtr Now is that knock sensor fine to use? OR as the saying goes: "you get what you pay for..." n I shouldn't get it? Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted July 12, 2012 I Donated Share Posted July 12, 2012 For $10, you can't really go wrong. I've used cheap eBay knock sensors before without any issues. Welcome to the boards and thanks for not making your first question something that has been asked a million times over!

KiNGKAOS Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 K Thanx! On a side note, would I further damage anything if I drive the car before I replaced the knock sensor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted July 12, 2012 I Donated Share Posted July 12, 2012 probably not....but there is a chance of engine damage since it controls your ignition timing. If you continue to drive on a back knock sensor, i would just be easy on the throttle. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
