I have just purchased an OEM knock sensor from a DSM part vendor and I am trying to find what the difference is between the AutoZone knock sensor and the OEM knock sensor. With them sitting side by side, you would never know which one is OEM. The wire colors are exactly the same, the part number on the AutoZone one says "Mitsubishi E1T15075 (9Y16)" and the OEM one has "Mitsubishi E1T15075 (1531)". The reason I am replacing it is because I am getting 43 counts of knock right from take off. The sensor on the car is less than a year old. I was told AutoZone knock sensors are no good. Did I lose out on some money?
