No diagram but the circuit is small enough to just eyeball it.  I don't know if 
FM still repairs them.  We can repair them here but that would be pretty much a 
last resort because our rates are higher than FM's.

  Ray do you have a circuit diagram for the Link MAP/knock box?  I too have a 
bad knock circuit in mine.  Will FM repair these boxes?

    Do you have any info on how to fix/replace the piece/s in the map box for 
this? I've been through at least a dozen different sensors and wires on mine, 
and they only last a week, if that. I checked everything outside of that box so 
far. I didn't want to bother opening the map box because I figured I'd see a 
bunch of stuff that bothers me more than it does already. I gave up on trying 
to get a knock sensor to work back in like 2005; this is the first I'm seeing 
anything about a possible solution. 

     

    Is it like the SerialLINK connections that the only solder joints that do 
anything break? If it's a component-level repair, do you know the replacement 
part# and where to get it? I used to do that for a living, so that would be 
awesome if it was something that simple. 

     

    Thanks

    Unfortunately the signal conditioner in the map sensor box is prone to 
failure after many heat cycles.  They are generally repairable though.  Also 
the wiring from it to the ECU could be non-functional but that can be tested 
just by removing the map box and connecting a 1.5v battery to the knock & gnd 
wires (battery minus to gnd) and observing the knock level on the keypad.

    I have an FMII setup on my 91 

      miata with the link ECU.  The knock reading quit working and I am trying 
to find the issue.  

      So far, I have:

      Replaced the knock sensor with a new sensor for a Saab (supposed to be a 
direct replacement)

      Replaced the RCA cable going from the knock sensor to the Link box

      Checked the resistance between the wire connections in the diagnostics 
box under the hood (that the knock sensor taps into) back to the end of the RCA 
harness to make sure I don't have any breaks in the wires.

       

      I am hoping to have the knock sensor working by the weekend so I can run 
it at the strip a few times and hopefully surprise a few people.  I just don't 
want to take the chance of running it without the knock sensor and damaging the 
engine.

       

      Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Thank you,

      Kyle
