I have two questions. One, where is and what does the knock sensor wire look like on the 1998 2.7 Dodge Intrepid engine? The second, where does the Torx head bolt (only one found in all the bolts) go on the engine? I rebuilt this engine and these two problems was encountered. Any help to let me know I darn sure would think highly of it. FRR

 

Welcome to the DF family!!! You might want to ask your question in the Intrepid sec you'll have better luck in getting some responses.

 

Maybe a mod can move this to the correct section.

 

I thought a new post was just that, a new post. Evidently it post to where ever it wants to when you do a new post. I guess this should be in a forum section under Intrepid? I am not sure how to do this. But, i got it on at least.

 

hey FRR. welcome to DF. I'll move the post over for you.

 

Thank you, I seem to not be able to get it there. FRR

 

I didn't think a 98 canme with a 2.7. The first gen had a 3.5 & 3.3 The 3.5 had the knock sensor, and the 3.3 d/n. The 2.7 second gen engine (2000 & up), did also have it. If you have the 2.7 second gen engine, go to the holy grail (link https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...oly-grail.html) and see pg 8l-6. If the 3.5, it has two below the intake manifold.

 

the first gens were 1993-1997. 1998 was the first year of the second gens and the first of the 2.7 liter as a base engine. and the knock sensor is located in the valley between the heads. its not much fun getting out.

 

I agree, my mistake, I did not know which generation this 98 belonged to. I found out the hex head bolt was for the chain tensioner behind the head plug on front of the heads. One for each side. Now, the problem comes knowing if the wire feed to the knock sensor is one or two wire feedback. I have only one showing but will have to peel the wiring to see if anyone of my good buddies think it may have been cut. This forum is kinda hard. It seems that no one can answer a simple question but only tell you that you are wrong posting a question in the wrong place, if they were very intelligent at the least instead of like me then they could have easily told me about the wiring or the bolts but as it is no one knows. I think they never knew!

 

SORRY FRR was not correcting you. i will look tonight when i get to work and get back with you tommorrow there. your knock sensor has one bolt going through center holding it in place will look tonight and update you
