To the best of my knowledge, the 93 dosen't really use a knock sensor like the 94-up. The 1993 is not a sensitive to false knock anyway. However, if you still want to desensitize it, there is a webpage that tells you where and what type of resisters to put in a wire, I am sure someone can post it.

I don't plan on doing either but here is how you would do it. My understanding is that the 93's really don't need it.

There's an excellent database of mod instructions on ProjectTransAM.com . Look on the list on the left side, under "Install Guides". You can also find another good database on Brent Franker's website.

Just to clarify... I'm pretty sure the 93-95's use the same knock sensor, and have a similar sensitivity. What is different in the 93, as pointed out above is the absence of the knock module, forcing people to find other ways to overcome false knock.

Before you jump into "desensitizing" the sensor, remember that you are reducing sensitivity to both "real" knock and "false" knock, and reducing the level of protection that the knock sensor offers.
