Yes the knock sensor throws the SC into a limp mode. So you'll want to fix that, but i warn you having a shop do it will be WAY more then its worth as its under the intake manifold. There are tons of write ups about relocation online.
SC Xterra any noticeable difference with a SC working??
I was given a 2003 SC Xterra manual shift with 130,000 miles on it for winter beater. Timing belt, clutch, and waterpump were already done.
Had it in today for a drive belt issue, and was told the SC has not worked for sometime. Apparently a bad knock sensor under the SC had disabled the SC, and once replaced I will have boost again.
My question is, is it worth the repair cost, and would I even notice the differnce?
Mechanic said at 3000ft altitude I would notice a diffence in performance and fuel mileage?
Thoughts?
Thanks
