SOURCE: car wont start

I noticed you replace the crankshaft sensor, but not the CAMshaft sensor.
The Ignition module takes the input of both sensors to tell the coil when to energize.
This sensor should come up as an error code when you attach a obd reader.
Even if your light is not on - there may be a code. If it is not your vehicle originally, some people pull the bulb!

SOURCE: Code P0300 on a 2002 Pontiac GP with misfires on #

try switching one of the other coil packs with one of the bad ones. if this works then there you go. another way of telling if it is a coil pack is to disconnect the spark plug of the affected coil pack. if its a strong coil then you will hear the spark as well as see it. compare it to another plug boot that has the good spark. it sounds to me that it is a coil pack. i just changed one about 2 months ago with the same problem as yours.

How to repalce a knock sensor on my 2004 gmc yukon

Hi welcom to fixya. A defective knock sensor may cause engine detonation or reduced spark advance and fuel economy. When a knock sensor is removed and replaced, the sensor must be tightened to its specified torque. If the knock sensor is installed tighter than it should be, it may become too sensitive and provide an excessively high voltage signal, resulting in more spark ****** than required. When the knock sensor is installed looser than it should be, the knock sensor signal will be lower than normal, resulting in engine detonation.
To replace the knock sensor:
  • Disconnect the knock sensor wiring connector.
  • Then, unscrew the sensor.
  • Remove the knock sensor.
  • Reverse the procedures to install the part.
  • 15 ft.lbs.torque
  • hope this helps.Thank You for using fixya..iluv2fish.. Ray..

1997 altma codes p0304,p0325 thanks mike

p0304 misfire on cylinder #4
p0325 knock sensor circuit

Could be a bad wire, plug, or coil pack on cylinder #4 (or bad distributor connection).

Knock sensor indicates a knock coming from the engine, perhaps from cylinder #4.

This may lead to a diagnosis if you change parts related to cylinder #4.

Good luck.

2004 Saturn Ion2 with 2.2L Has trouble accelerating up a hill or under hard acceleration. Also has Loud ticking noise (sounds like valves ticking). Check manifold vacuum with a vacuum gage and OBDII...

Sounds like a bad coil pack. If memory serves they had the double coil pack on the back of the motor that were notorious for going bad and were seriosuly cheap to replace.

I'd also be looking towards a CKP (Crank Position Sensor) in that car.
