I got a code 34....Knock Sensors....94Q

[Meaux]

Well I got my FSM downloaded and ran the diagnostic 2 this morning, and I got the dreaded (for me anyway) code 34...I had a feeling it wasn't going to be as easy as a temp sensor on top of the motor.

Anyway, it looks like I'm gonna have to do it myself...any gotcha's?

Best source for parts? I assuming I'm gonna need gaskets for the upper intake collector, does the bottom intake need to come off too?

Of course I plan on doin both K s's.

Dangit......at least I didn't get 4 different codes.

Those of you that have done this job, tell me your stories......:-)

11 years old you'll want to replace all the rubber under the plenum. Bypass hoses, coolant hoses, fuel hoses, etc. Do the KS harness too. It gets brittle down there and cracks. Removing the bottom intake makes it easier, especially for doing the hoses. Runners have a single metal crush gasket on each head.
