Knock sensor and MIL
Hi,
Can someone please help me? It is 96 Altima with 99,000 miles.
For last 2 years I had code P0325 showing up in OBDII diagnostics - but 'Check Engine Light' did not come on. Yesterday the MIL light came on and does not go away. Codes are P0325 (Knock sensor) and P0310 (Cylinder 10 misfire). What could be the problem?
The car has been running ok - it does give some knock and slow to get acceleration the first few minutes. But, what I have been doing is let it idle for a few minutes in the beginning and the knock seems to go away and power seems to be ok after that. I have been using premium gas every now and then.
1. How can I get a cylinder 10 misfire when there are fewer cylinders?
2. Do i need to change the Knock sensor? Or, I can continue to keep driving?
My guess is that replacing the knock sensor is a high cost proposition. I had the knock sensor supposedly replaced by a reputed repair shop 2 years back along with CAM sensor - but the code P0325 has always been there and had problems with inspections. Last time the repair shop said thay had oil in distributor and cleaned it up that ultimately made the MIL to go away probably.
Thanks
