Hello.
I am currently trying to install my new knock sensors and wiring which
I ordered from FCP Groton. I'm very confused. Right now, my knock
sensor wiring configuration looks like this.

Now with the FCP kit, you get the two sensors wired together into a 3-
conductor connector, a y-adapter that splits the 3 conductor connector
into two, 2 conductor connectors, and then two, 2 conductor plugs,
with pins to attach to wires, and little sealer nipples. I have a
theory on how to put this all together, but I'm not going to proceed
until I know for sure. Can anyone provide some help.

Thanks
Joe

With reference to the picture supplied if you were to unplug the sensor and
look at the pins, the pin on the left would be the ground (shield) and the
pin on the right would be signal. This is identical for both sensors. The
center pin of the three pin connector is the common ground (shield) and two
outside pins are signals from sensors.
