#36 of 67 Re: Knocking when engine is Hot [denham] by efitzgerald Feb 10, 2009 (5:12 am)
Replying to: denham (Feb 09, 2009 3:18 pm) I agree 100% with Denham. I spent thousands from inept technicians trying to solve this problem... knock sensor codes and o2 codes are symptoms only. If your older Villager/Quest is running rough when warm/hot dont waste your money like I did....get a replacement distributor

Replying to: cchalverson (Feb 08, 2009 3:18 pm) I can only find one pre cat HO2 sensor located in the exhaust right after the point where the V6 exhaust pipes come together. A new Bosch OE HO2S didn't clear the CEL so I erased it with the scan tool and it nearly immediately came back on with a P0135 code. Had my mechanic check the wiring this week when he replaced the motor mounts and he said wiring checked out OK, it must be a bad Bosch HO2S. The auto parts place exchanged the Bosch HO2S with another new one and after installation I'm still getting the same CEL code.

Just fixed this on sister-in-laws Quest. Distributor was so hot it was hard to hold onto. Got it out and it would hardly spin was so gone. Replace and runs perfect. Thanks for the info.

#42 of 67 on a quest by jmikell Jun 12, 2009 (3:20 pm)
My 2000 Quest runs very rough. The cat convert was glowing I had it replaced. Then I got a code for knock senson I replaced that. Now the van runs like crap and then shuts down after it warms up. I am getting tired of throwing money at the car. I read where someone replaced the distributor. I am presently trying to locate a ignition module seprate from distributor. Is such a thing possible? Or do I need to to just purchase the whole distibutor complete.

Replying to: jmikell (Jun 12, 2009 3:20 pm) I've read somewhere that a knock sensor code was a signal for a lot of other things and not exactly the sensor itself. Before you sink any more money into it make sure you are replacing what is really malfunctioning because things will add up. You could check the distributor to see if the bearings are gone but I think that replacing only the ignition module is a little bit more complicated.

Replying to: rockmobile (Jun 13, 2009 4:54 am) Note: The distributor ignition module is good if the engine runs, the distributor bearing gets dry of lubricant with age and miles and builds up heat and you get a knock code most often after the engine get warm or hot. Read the posts for the last few years and then replace the distributor and save money.
#45 of 67 99 Quest third distributor in 3 yrs by mpurai Jun 14, 2009 (10:13 pm)
Hello Guys, My 99 quest seems to need a new distributor every year and I had this vehicle since new. Now has 72, 000 original miles mostly highway on flat roads. I have changed 3 distributors within the last three years and now it seems it's the same problem.I always use Sunoco 93 gas. Note that just before this happens everytime, I will get a code 325: Knock Sensor. According to the repair manual and diagnostic readouts, knock sensors on these vans do not cause a code read out and the cause would relate to something else. In other words, a knock sensor problem will not trigger a code but indicates that the sensor is malfunctioning due to other problems. Now can anyone tell me why this vehicle seems to go through so many distributors? Note that everytime it's the Camshaft Position Sensor within the distributor that is gone. Currently the two terminals on the camshaft position sensor in the Dist. reads a resistance of 32.47 omhs which does not seem to be good. I conducted all the test and the dist is working as it should but does not send secondary power to the fuel pump. Same problem all the time. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
