Okay, what in world is a detonator switch? I was under my car tonight, looking for a spark plug that got stuck somewhere. By the way, if I ever have to change spark plugs on this car, I think I'll just throw it away and buy a new one. :rant:
Anyway, as I was under there, i noticed a little sensor sticking out of the block on the passenger side in front of the starter. The reason I am asking is because the connector for it, that runs up over the starter into oblivion is rather nasty looking and cracked. Is this a crucial Item?

Sounds like you found the knock sensor.

yes it is critical. if it were having problems it would set a code and your check engine light would be on. been there done that.

I cut my wires and replaced them, then wrapped them with heat sheild material, and stuck them in a plastic wire loom covering and zip tied them up out of the way.

In UTAH, it's the red wire. Everything's backwards here. That's why I told him blue.

Id love to rig something like that in there.

Kind of like in Star Trek III where they blow up their spaceship to kill the Klingons who boarded it.....
