funny thing is most part dealers keep calling it an oil switch, been searching for over 2hrs, no one wants to remove a knock sensor from a complete engine.

Searched thru a lot of stores and finally found an evil part dealer that was willing to remove knock sensor from and engine and sell to me.

Tested them and they worked really good.

next is knock sensor.

The knock sensor is located under the intake manifold www.nairaland.com/attachments/3316410_img20160120wa003_jpeg2248c5941686555b65303c5a814450d5

Time to figure out how to drive the big ass truck into the workshop shocked. We trid head first, didn't work, then decided to go in with reverse and it worked www.nairaland.com/attachments/3314610_img20160120105525_jpegc1912f7a02c45cf40e3c51b72438483e

Next is to take out the intake www.nairaland.com/attachments/3315583_img20160120150226_jpeg9bf2d3ccb01f2e8813049759756b1fc6www.nairaland.com/attachments/3315584_img20160120150218_jpega04a3007794687331ba85554cbe5fe89www.nairaland.com/attachments/3315586_img20160120150248_jpeg338879176f98414034ea79f789a05b89

Those are the ugly looking knock sensors.

Next is to test. Basically they give off between 0- 5v output (A.C) when tapped, so it's easy to detect a faulty one.

Now off to ojuelegba to find parts, hopefully I'll be able to find a brand new OEM part. If not I'll just test a toks one and reinstall.

2004 Chevy avalanche.

Problems.

Delayed shifts,

Loss of power.

DTC codes pulled.

P0101 mass air flow sensor parformance
P0171 fuel trim system lean bank 1
P0174 fuel trim system lean bank 2
P0332 knock sensor2 circuit low frequency.



First thing done was to take out the maf sensor and have it cleaned.

Look closely at the pics and you will see 3 filaments (sensors) that detect air movement and a fourth(black in colour) that detects intake air temperature.www.nairaland.com/attachments/3317679_img20160121093038_jpegd0946e21697b54d67ac8e3469612ae64

Funny looking MAF

Car came with an after market K&N cold intake air cleaner. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3317679_img20160121093038_jpegd0946e21697b54d67ac8e3469612ae64

Now when cleaning this maf clean from reverse

This should hopefully take care of 3 out of the 4 codes
P0101 mass air flow sensor parformance
P0171 fuel trim system lean bank 1
P0174 fuel trim system lean bank 2

front airbags out time to test them.

That I do is manually pump them up with my air compressor in the office and hold the air in using a thumb. It works great! It is basically blowing up a balloon, only difference is more air pressure required.

If it works well, it will become longer and there would be no leaks.


www.nairaland.com/attachments/3316497_img20160115161547_jpeg8ab08f429ba5274452012f75bb6294e8

One side was really ruptured and could not hold air. www.nairaland.com/attachments/3316498_img20160115123402_jpeg7ca168e84335a279b8251d1680ee8b1b

It failed the test, the other side held air but leaked gradually.

land Rover, range rover LR 320 2006 suspension work.

-Front suspension airbags (baloons grin) damaged
-Worn Brake pads.
-Wrapped brake disks

The brake disks are pretty straight forward, take off wheels, take off brake calipers unscrew 2 bolts fastening brake disk to hub and they are all out in a number of minutes.

For the front air suspensions.

The vehicle came in at lowest heigh level, with a hissing sound (like there was an air leak) it's not uncommon to have a leaking airbag in the front or rear of a RR.

Taking the front airs bags out is pretty straight forward

Place car on stands uncrew 21mm bolt at the base, unscrew 15mm bolts at the top and one 10mm pipe that supplies air pressure

was it to improve mileage? If it was I'm sure it failed. Was it to clean injectors? If it was I'm interested.
