Hi again,

Anyone know where I can get a Starion knock sensor/ignitor? New or good second hand.

It's for a 1988 4g63 and I'm in England.

Any help would be great.

Cheers, Ben

I'm almost sure you can also use the knock sensor from a 89-93 galant or Colt and probably other mitsu's from the same years.
I know that the sensor on the DOHC motors looks identical, not sure on the connector.. But since you have a 88 i think it was the same.
Just go to a local breakers with old sensor in hand and find one that looks identical (but still has the black stuff in it)

it should look like this:

is there a knock sensor mounted on a Starion? I can't find one on either of my engines in the Eterna or Galant, perhaps its before they used knock sensors

Pretty sure there is - E101 module = knock sensor?

All 3 Starions I own have one. Oldest being a 83 model.

And they all look the same. (well except for the one I now have a 7Bolt DOHC in)

If i remember correctly even the 82 EX that I took apart had one.

But it could be a market that difference.
For example. a US spec Eclipse N/A 4g63 eclipse from 89-93 didn't have a knock sensor. But the EURO spec did have one. (also higher compression)

I have what looks to be a map sensor mounted on my firewall, then another box mounted next to the coil but I cannot see an actual knock sensor mounted to the block anywhere on mine, I am asking where does the knock sensor mount on the block on a Starion?

DG the KS in my original JB motor is found on the inlet side app 100mm down from the top of the block and app 90mm in from the front of the block and is mounted in a casting that protrudes app 25mm
