Default Torqhead and knock sensor

I have been having trouble with surging on my lt1. I have been talking to moe about it. Last night and tonight it started throwing a code for low voltage p0327. I am going to put a new knock sensor in the engine and see what it does.

My question is what knock sensor do I buy do I just get one for a 96 lt1 odb2 computer? I want to order a A/c delco sensor. The on in the kit was aftermarket.

Damn that's a good question... Any markings on the sensor that you currently have? Anyway... AutoZone lists one part number for a '94-'95 SU150, OBD1 And a separate for a 96-97 OBD2. The '96-'97 number is SU121 AutoZone brand but notes OEM#10456017.Delco number is 213-96. Corvette Grand Sport (LT4) lists the same SU121. Hope that helps

You want one for an 02 Chevy Express van with the 5.7 Vortec.

Whatever the case may be, it must be an OBDII knock sensor.

The '02 Chevy Express van was the only vehicle that used an 0411 pcm AND the correct knock sensor that fits our cars.

I guess I should’ve been more specific... that part I knew but what I was really curious in was If it’s looking for parameters in a different range. My bad, sorry.

So I replaced the knock sensor and the car is making way more power now but I still have the surging at 35 to 45 mph. So on to the next thing.

Which is the same sensor as the computer controlled Q-Jets, early TPI and TBIs, and all 96-02 5.7 Vortecs.
