Hey guys, I need some wiring help, was swapping from factory cruise throttle cable to non-cruise and found a bunch of wiring gom.

Right behind the intake there are two wires coming out of the main harness (solid white wire, and a striped black wire) that have been cut and more stuff wired to, the white wire has been ran over and tied into some kind of sensor/plug under the manifold about half way across the block. This sensor/plug ever it is also has two wires coming from it (solid red, and white with black stripe)

Can anyone please tell me how this mess is supposed to be wired and what goes where? I can’t stand junky wiring, but I didn’t do this so I don’t have a clue where it’s all supposed to go.

Edit: forgot to put in that’s it’s a 1991 Talon AWD

Sounds like your knock sensor wiring.

This is written for a 1990 but, in this case, is the same for your car as well: The 1990 Engine Control Wiring Harness

Can anyone tell me what this sensor is? From searching I think it’s an oil pressure sensor but I wasn’t aware of any oil sensors other than the one on the filter housing. It was on the back side of the block towards the driver side, and had two wire coming from it before I broke them . The wires were solid red and white with a black strip, and the wiring was all cobbled up so idk where it was supposed to go...

I will look through that but I don’t believe the sensor on the block is the knock sensor, I took it off and will provide pics...

Yeah... That's the knock sensor.

Ok, well I guess AutoZone’s website lies bc it shows the knock sensor looking round with a bolt hole through it, seeing as it had no plug on it, would it originally have wired plugged into the solid white & black striped wires just below the intake? It also had the plug chopped off so I can’t compare plugs...

Knock sensor.

Where was the factory plug on the harness for knock sensor located? There was a couple wires coming out the harness right behind the intake with a solid white & a striped black wire that this was kinda hooked to, but the connectors have all been cut off so I’m not sure if that’s even where this should be wired to.

Autozone's website for me shows a generic picture until you actually click on the part for your selected vehicle. It then shows the proper sensor.

Best source for replacement knock sensor?

Better hurry if they still have this, as most sources are dried up and gone for a 1g.............Good Luck
