Default Need help figuring out unknown cable

Please help,


I replaced my starter now my check engine light is on. Went to autozone to check code and they said its the censor (the guy explained maybe a loose wire somewhere or censor detector has gone bad).


The only wire I noticed wasnt plugged in is the green tip thing( picture below) The other part the black tip goes to the starter which I connected. Im having trouble finding the part where that green plug belongs to. Can anyone tell me?
The picture below is from a website I found but thats exactly from a s2000.





Thank you

The threaded portion of the sensor is still in the block, so you need to get that out before you can put a new sensor in the block. The plastic portion of the knock sensor is wafer-like with a bit of age on it, fragile as all crap.

You need a new knock sensor, and need to be super delicate installing it.

The slightest pressure breaks it off (typical of anyone doing an s2k starter and not having prior knowledge of the fragile knock sensor)

Yes it was my knock sensor. Thanks for everyone who helped. If yours goes out dont drive a round without it car goes crazy. Got a new one for around $80 shipped and changed it myself. Took about 30 mins. Dealer waned $350 for new + installation!!! It is not hard to do you just need a 24mm deep socket. Theres a good dyi on it here on s2ki. just google it.
thanks again for your help everyone
