How in the World??
I have been getting my CEL code for my Knock Sensor and I have been trying to figure out a way to get in that tight spot. I can't seem to get my meat beaters in there. It doesn't look like its that complicated taking it out. Just getting the bastard back in. If anyone with pretty decent size hands has done this , let me know some tips!

Removing the bolt is fairly easy. Just use a universal joint and a long, long extension. What I did was remove the air filter assembly. This made it easier to turn the wrench. Upon installing the sensor back on, you must stick your hands in there just to get the bolt started and then you are "home free"! Do not overtighten! The sensor is probable to cracking its shell. Also, be prepared to get your hands scratched up if they are fairly big. Underneath that intake manifold are sharp edges. Good luck!

Does anyone know if a leaky exhaust would trigger the CEL for Knock Sensor?
