about 6 months ago i discovered my det sensor had gone so i was told to put a resistor in the female det connection blocks which i did and it worked fine for about 3 month then i noticed i lost power again so i fiddled with the resistor and it worked again and now the problem is iv lost power again it seems to be the same power i lost when the det sensor went iv replaced the resistor and still have loss of power anybody got any ideas ??

sorry to sound a prat,

 

but what is a DET sensor?

 

is it the same as the nock sensor??

its detination sensor (det for short)

Yes it is the same as a knock sensor. It senses detonation and adjust the ignition to suit rectify. If the problem is still happening I would would look at the condition of the female connector. It sounds as though some corrosion may have appeared and the resistor is not making a good contact. I ran a resistor for years without any problems.
