2000 Honda Civic Ex P0325

I just got a diagnostic report from my hand held tool thing and the code was P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit (Bank 1). The only thing I hear wrong with the car is when I turn the key and for a second it hesitates to start but does start fine. Can someone please tell if they know what is wrong and if this is something I can fix myself. This report really confuses me. Too much information......thank you in advance........

I'd recommend getting a good tech to check it, it's unlikley a knock sensor is causing a hard starting issue unless the pcm thinks the timing is out when it isn't, a timing belt or distributor out on some engines will generate a knock code though and lead to a hard start so it's something to consider checking.

I have the same problem as nygiantsfan but on a 1997 honda ex. Anybody figure out the cause? and fix?

I got the same code this week. I'm wondering if the other two guys (steelknight and nygiantsfan) resolved their issues and what it ended up being...

Thanks!

The Problem turned out to be a faulty knock sensor! If you drop it the inside will break as it has a fragile porcelain diaphragm. You will find that you will get random knocks in some or all your cylinders. A new knock sensor will run you about $160. I recommend you post a wanted ad on craigslist for a knock sensor. I got one for $25 bucks.

As for the other guys issues with the Honda stalling at start up I recommend you change out your starter. That issue went away when i replaced my failing starter.
