Honda HR-V Knock error
 

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and i don't know if i am posting in the right place (i hope so!) :)

So, my problem is:
I have a Honda HR-V from 2001 with a 1.6 liter VTEC engine D16W5. The engine was rebuilt (i chose the car especially for this; was supposed to be "easy"). Everything is in working condition without a problem. Works almost flawlessly. But i had a kncok sensor error (after the rebuild). I replaced the knock sensor and the error is still present - from that i concluded that the problem was not the sensor. I have googled some forums and it appears that the engine cannot advance ignition timing. I can adjust the timing manually, but i need to do it every so often :(. What did i do wrong? Because i did soooo many things that i cannot even imagine where the problem is... I am an electrical engineer, not a mechanic, this was supposed to be my "initiation" into mechanics...

Any ideeas?

For some forums, there is an option to post in specific threads assigned for unique brands. Considering its absence, you have posted in the right place.

As for your problem, I don't have a clue as to its solution.

Is the wiring and connections from the sensor to the ECU all good?
