This is for a 95 obd1 pcm (what is the Electrical resistance needed)

 

Go grab a meter.

 

Resistance should be between 3300-4500 ohms (OBD-I) or 93k-107k ohms (OBD-II).

 

so if i go to radio shack and ask for 3300-4500 ohms ? how many watts?

 

how do i test it? stick the meter on the wire side of the knock sensor ??

 

Why do you want to bypass your knock sensor? Sounds like a bad idea.

 

Trying to figure out if the knock sensor is bad or something to do with the pcm. Car has already been dyno tuned (from Bryan pcmforless) so at wide open throttle the car will ignore the sensors plus timing is locked at i believe 24 total degrees at full throttle.

At part light throttle I am getting 9 degrees of knock on my scan master in all gears (6speed) no matter what the load is .

Specs on engine (383 procharged 15 pound pulley (i see 10 pounds of boost)

 

Check your car for any rattles.
I wouldn't bypass the sensor with a resistor, I would leave the sensor plugged in and electrically grounded but zip tie it to something so it doesnt 'hear' the motor.
If you do use a resistor then any wattage is fine (1/4watt). Measure your sensor with an ohm meter and match that with one of those little 10 turn trim pots.

 

ok cool i am going to do that thanks

 

Just turn it off in the software (ie program it out)

I have a similar app (97ss 383-D1 MM6 w/ 9.5:1 compression). I re-flashed the PCM w/o the knock sensor spark timing retard. I run 34* @ 100kpa 6k rpm. I also run Evans NPG coolant.

 

Amen.
