my R has been giving trouble and going by some threads i found it was more than likely the knock sensor. i done a code check and got 34= faulty knock sensor.. after removing the sensor i put it on a multimeter and got a reading of 0.560 M Ohms.. is it possible that the sensor is knackered and still give the good resistance reading??

It is possible that the wire to it has seen better days most of the wires at the back of the block become brittle with the heat over time .Mine has been soldered as has my water temp and oil temp wires

I soldered a 1 ohm resistor onto pins 27 and 29 on the ecu and its still doing the same thing and giving fault 34.. Am i doing the right thing or is there something else i can try??
