An update to a 2 year old thread. CA vehicles have extra smog equipment which makes this task a little more difficult.
A extending magnet isn't optional but completely necessary as you can't fit your hand near the sensor. This is for removing and installing the screw. You will also need a coat hanger or something similar to "fish" the sensor from it's hole.
1. Removing the intake from the filter to the throttle body is necessary. This is quite easy. Take your standard head screwdriver and unscrew the strap which connects the rubber to the Throttle body. Unplug the sensor on the filter box. Unlatch the filter box. Remove the 2 large vacuum hoses that go to the resonator. Lift the intake hose and lay it toward the side. There is no need to completely disconnect the other sensors attached to it.
2. There is also a gold solenoid that can be moved by removing it's upper mounting screw and sliding it towards the front of the car. I had no way of accessing the bottom screw but it wasn't necessary. This gives you access to the knock sensor.
Sorry for the vague descriptions as I have no clue what some of the sensors and solenoids are named.
