VEEDUBBED 0 Posted November 25, 2005 9A 2.0 valvers have just 1 knock sensor,like a G60 mill,it's located near the engine block's breather,should have a black 3 pin socket but could also be blue coloured. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beavis 0 Posted November 26, 2005 If your adament the timing has been set correctly then it may be worthwhile getting your fuel pressure tested as the pump may be slowly failing not supplying enough fuel to the rail, hence the pinking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
