Default Will the KS w/locating tab work on 98 PCMs?

I have a new pair of KS with the locating tab on them. Will they work with the 98 PCM when I used the correct KS harness for them? Thanks.

KS - knock sensor

I'm 99% sure they will. I recall reading numerous posts about the '98s having a constant 4 degrees of knock retard, and part of the solution was replacing the sensors with '99 and up knock sensors.

Maybe some more '98 owners will chime in. Have other '98 owners switched to 1999+ knock sensors?

I didn't switch, but I did desensitize them in hptuners... I was able to get rid of the mid-range timing retard speed bump, and take timing up all across the range.

KS - knock sensor

i have the new style sensors with the new harness and they work just like stock.

they did NOT fix my knock problem, but i think it was worth it because my stock ones had rusted...
