KNOCK SENSOR INSTALLATION

First let me say that I scratched my head for several days before trying to replace the knock sensor on my car. Because as we all know it is hidden way up underneath the intake manifold next to the engine block. I almost considered dismantling the intake manifold in order to have better access to that area, but then I thought "why should I risk warping or damaging such a sensitive area that already works just fine...in addition why should I have to unfasten tens of bolts just to get to one little knock sensor that plugs in easily?"

The answer:

get a long!!!! extension for your socket wrench
get the adapter that allows for a few degrees of movement (wobble)
the knock sensor is only attached by one bolt (17 mm? don't remember exactly)
get a long pair of needle-nose pliers
get a long rather stiff wire or plumber's snake
first disconnect the battery of course
disconnect two rubber fuel lines that block the space between the two middle intake runners and push aside. (you may have to relieve some fuel pressure)
disconnect the harness for the knock sensor, but before you go on, connect the plumber's snake (or wire) to the end of the harness that leads to the sensor under the intake manifold.
now unbolt the sensor
take the needle-nose pliers and reach down to pull out the sensor along with the wires. (try not to pull out the entire length of plumber's snake)
disconnect the old sensor and plug in the new one
NOW it gets tricky!! Go ahead and thread the bolt through the sensor before you lower it back into its place.
wrap a thin piece of electrical tape around the head of the bolt as you insert it into the socket wrench, this helps keep the thing from slipping out of the socket as you lower everything back in.
as you steadily approach the engine block with sensor and bolt, pull out slack in wire with plumber's snake in the direction of respective harness
bolt down the sensor and reconnect the harness.
That's It Your Done!!!!!
