Torque Spec for Knock Sensor

Could someone please tell me what the torque spec is for the bolt that holds the knock sensor on the engine to a 95 Maxima.

Thanks

I have both the Haynes and Nissan Maxima FSM and the torque for tightening is in neither one. Might call dealer or Nissan Customer Service. Problem is unless you remove the intake manifold I don't know how you could get a torque wrench in there anyway.

Wow, neither the Hayes or the Nissan FSM gives the spec!

I saw the spec on this sight a while back. I want to say that it was 16Nm but cant say for sure because the sight is not being displayed correctly. This site also went on to say that the torque spec directly influenced the functionability of the Knock Sensor..i.e. if you tighten it up too much it won't work right, or if its to loose it won't work right.

It would be nice to know for sure considering that I'm now avg 15 mpg instead of my usual 22-26, have just spent close to $200 on the new sensor and would like to get on as soon as possible without any kinks along the way.
