Knock Sensor replace
might be replacing the knock sensor to fix my no power problem with my VE. Is there any tricks to this????? For intance, Im pretty sure that with the VQs you can reach the sensor without taking off the whole Intake Manifold. Is this possible witht he VE?????? Thanks

Dangit....I didnt think I would be as lucky as the VQ guys and gals.........on the other hand why would you and other paople wrap the coolant hose to prevent it from gettin the intake hot???? That hose runs there because its supposed to be hot to heat the manifolds to atomize the fuel when the injectors spray. have you noticed any kind of gains from that????

I just replaced mine when I repplaced the VTCs (and water pump etc., etc.) Took over 20 hours. If you were gonna just do the knock sensor, probably at least 3-4 hours, if nothing goes wrong. There is a guy on the ebay, sells brand new KS for $68 shipped, by the way. If you can't fiund him, email me and I'll send you a link. It's a REAL good price.
