Knock Sensor
#41
I was able to remove a Power Valve Actuator without taking of UIM, I didn't have time to replace the KS yet, but it seems that it's doable. My question is do I need to torque the PVA fasteners to a specific pressure and should I put anti-seize or another thing that makes the bolt stay tight no matter what, since it's sitting directly on the engine and undergoes constant vibration (and I think the way to remove the bolt after wards is to heat it up with the torch).

At least navigate me to the proper FSM section.

Yesterday I finished this project, started up the car, in a couple of seconds check engine light went out by itself I didn't even have to reset my ECU. The same day I got my inspection without any problems.
Performance
The car is devil, now when the it is tuned up with right proportions for combustion for the gas I put in (93) I just have to top the gas pedal and right away I am getting squashed into the sit, no more hassle under 3000 RPM!!!
BTW my check engine light was for O2 sensors, but I think it's reading where wrong because without KS the car adjusts itself for the lowest octane gas, and I was putting higher that's why the oxygen sensors read it incorrect, because the KS itself doesn't trigger CE light, but I am telling you if you can do it it totally worth it
If you need any help I can guide you through. Some pictures would be helpful. BTW I hope your car is not calispec, right, because it is real pain in the neck.
Good luck, man.

No. That's what garages THINK they have to do and why it's so expensive. Check the stickies...great pix and directions. But, if you look at prev posts here..pretty straight forward. You just need a small hand to pull the nut off..put back.

ohh.. b/c i jus got mine done today and they said they have to remove those and since they're removing those might as well change the gaskets.. lol.. the people that replaced it for me are family friend so only charged me 200$ so i guess its ok?
