Tiburon knock sensor issue

My 2007 Hyundai Tiburon gasoline engine is acting up. Check engine light's on, fuel consumption's up, and the engine idles rough. With 175211 km, I'm thinking it could be a bad knock sensor. The cable or plug looks suspect. Anyone seen this before?

A 2007 Hyundai Tiburon is experiencing issues such as a check engine light, increased fuel consumption, and rough idling, potentially due to a faulty knock sensor. The problem might be related to the sensor itself or its wiring. Checking the sensor's resistance with a multimeter can help diagnose the issue. Ultimately, a mechanic discovered a wiring problem with the knock sensor, which was resolved for 95€.

Sounds familiar. I had something similar with my Tiburon. Have you checked the sensor's resistance? A multimeter could tell you if the sensor's bad or if it's the wiring. If the resistance is off, that'd point to the sensor.

Thanks. I haven't checked the resistance yet. What's the typical range for a good knock sensor on the Tiburon? Also, did a new sensor fix your problem, or was there more to it?

I don't remember the exact resistance range for the Tiburon's knock sensor, check a repair manual. My problem wasn't fixed by a new sensor. Turns out the engine's wiring harness was rubbing. I'd suggest a mechanic. Guessing at repairs is like treating symptoms, not the disease.

Got it. Thanks for sharing. I took it to a shop, and they found a wiring issue with the knock sensor. Cost me 95€ to fix. Thanks again.
