Just started working on my kids car. It's a 91 3.1 V-6. Replaced the starter and got it to start. It runs awful. Sounds like the timing is off or something. While replacing the starter there is a connector up there that is broken. The manual says it's a spark sensor. Is that the same as the knock sensor. The car is showing a code 43. I really think that the connector is the problem. Can I just get a connector from Autozone? I knew I should've fixed that with the starter off.

 

Yes that is a problem. Autozone might have the pigtail to splice onto the broken wire. If not, just grab one from a junkyard. You might want to purchase a new knock sensor too in case the end is busted off of it too. Besides, it is probably the original one anyway. The code 43 should go away then.

 

or just go to o'rilleys and buy the connector its 11 bucks but its made way better than the stock version that is broke
