Knock Sensor replacement
I'm just wondering how much it would usually run for if I got it fixed at a shop, can't do it myself because I don't have that kind of time to wait for parts and put my car in a garage, I'm always on the move so I need to know how much is too much to get a knock sensor fixed... thanks all

no I don't have a garage, I have to bring it to my friend's place, I was thinking about just bringing it to Nissan, but I know there are cheaper places to fix it, such as Midas etc...so I just want to get a general price range...

A shop would replace the sensor by removing the manifold, or if there tricky they'd tell you that and reach in the side like the rest of us do and still charge you an arm and a leg.
You dont need a garage, and if you can spare literally 20 mins you can get the KS changed not matter what size your hand is (speaking from experience).

ALSO make SURE your KS has actually gone bad by checking for codes, I thought mine went bad and was about to buy one on ebay, but I ran for codes and my KS was good, the problem was really, a combo of bad spark plugs, dirty air filter, and a need for an oil change.

bought myne from ebay for 74$ with shipping. thats alot cheaper than the 150$ or MORE that the stealership would sell, and i think autozone has it for about 150$ or so.
then alot of places will take off the manifold, but i never did that. i just used a clever extention on a long rachet extention. and then loosened the screw.
magents help so it doesnt fall. but to get your hand there is going to be a pain in the ****... its going to rip your hand up like you wouldnt belive. so have some peroxide and bandiges handy. i had my girlfriend help me out, her hand was small enought to get in there, and even her hand got ripped up, but i couldnt even reach it.
its far better to just replace it because someone will charge you alot of money!

I couldn't get my hand in there without more damage than I was willing to risk. But my 14 year old son could. He got a little ripped up, but no more than I usually get every time I pop a hood. If you've got someone with small hands, it's pretty simple.

Just make sure the engine is cool, that ish can get mighty hot.

okay man do it yourself, it'll **** you off but in the end you'll be happy you do it plus a few battlescars to show off. Took me 6:03 (comp. vs. other orgers), but if you took an hour maybe you could put on some KY jelly and get your hand in there hassle-free..
haha battlescars. and as for beer I harness Heineken or Warsteiner.

i just did my KS it took me about ten min. i used a 12mm socket/swivel/9 in extension 3/8 drive ratchet. i also had a code 325-car runs smoother and i no longer have a ping at 3500 rpms-hoping my gas mileage goes up-

Does anyone have the write up how to change the knock sensor i have pretty slim hands and dont think I will have the much trouble if I know exactly what i have to do.

......ahhhh HUH.... and after ur done u can keep the jelly on huh?.... heh
and all you need is one of those wrenches that twist into angle my mechanic had it and i just borrowed it.... and did it myself... it gets in there nice...
however there was another maxima there at the same time wich had some junk in the way that made it really hard to get to... i forgot what it was.... but i was discussing it with the owner..
