took me about an hour, but it was also dark, and the engine was still hot. shouldn't really take that long

 

didn't take me too long, maybe about 30-45 minutes. The hardest part is sticking your hand under the IM and threading it on there. I hope you have small hands and have a pain tolerance.

 

15 mins, 25 mins your fist time. Just take your time, and make sur the engine is NOT HOT.

 

Depends if it's cali spec or federal. Took me about 3 hours for my cali spec. It was a b!t*h to put in for me. But gl with yours.

 

Also before you go and change the sensor, check your ground. I boughta KS while having an 0304 KS code. Just yesterday I changed my spark plugs and afterwards looked at my knock sensor worried about my future bloody hands. So as per the KS write-up via motorvate.ca I sanded and cleaned the KS ground and contacts. Checked my KS tonight and voila! I got an 0505 code.. the best you can get No problems.

Long story short, clean your ground connection for the KS (mine didn't even look bad) before you replace it

 

I replaced my own KS. Took about an hour, but I had to leave to get a swivel adapter so that I could take off the bolt on an angle. Actual work only took 15 mins or so, and it was my first time doing it. Mechanic wanted like 100+ to change it cause he had to take off the manifolds he said... i was like no thanks ill do it myself. It was easy with the swivel adapter and a long extender to get in there. Hardest part is putting the new KS into place.

 

Ok, OFF TOPIC
Why can't I post new threads? I have a Q to pose about my max and just tried to start a new thread. It says I can't.... any clue?? Sorry I'm off topic, but I can't figure this out!

 

I believe you need 15 posts before you can start threads... ok back to KS now.
