Knock Sensor how to with PICS!

I am posting some pictures and basic instructions on how to replace the knock sensor. I really would like to have had a few pictures to at least show me where the knock sensor was!

The first pic is an open shot of the engine bay. The knock sensor is in that little valley in the middle of the engine that I have circled in red.



The second picture is a closer look at that little valley that houses the crummy knock sensor! You can see in the valley that I have my small craftsman wratchet wrench in there already. I can't remember what size the bolt is.



This third picture is a really close up of the wrench on the knock sensor bolt. If you look close you can see the knock sensor in there inderneath the wrench. You just remove the bolt holding it on.



More pictures to follow!

Re: Knock Sensor how to with PICS!

This picture clearly shows what the knock sensor looks like after removing it from its cave! Here it is still attached to the knock sensor harness. There is a metal clip that fastens the knock sensor to the harness. Be sure to remove the clip before you try to separate the sensor from the harness!


Here is the little bugger! To replace the sensor, just reverse these directions!




Oh, here is what your arm will look like when you are done! (minus the hair!!)

Sure, that would be fine, but guess what! .org users can't search skippynet very easily!

So here it is!

Thanks for the write-up and pics! I'll add it to my "remember to search for ____ when you want to do ____" list in my brain.


For a measley $10/hr, you guys can rent me out (6'1 140lb) and have me stick my arm in there, I could probably get by without a scathe

Thanks, I've been wondering where that thing was. (I'm too lazy to look in my manual )
