Knock sensor and IACV

[GO240]

anyone think i can do this with out takin off the intake manifold? i'm keep getting a knock sensor code and a idle air codes so i'm gonna swap them out and see if it fixes my lack of power and 5th gear stumble

what codes are u getting im having similar issues

[GO240]

I don't really remember i think its twenty something and whatever the code for the knock sensor is i'm also going to be fixing some exhaust leaks too so its a bunch of problems

i dont know how handy u r with working on ur car but my friend didnt have to take the intake manifold off my car to do the iacv but he has abnormal long skinny hands, he went from under the car though its tight though but its possible. as far as the knock sensor not to sure.

and good luck trying to find someone on here to help i notice that unless ur throwing a big turbo or some crazy s*** on ur car ppl dont really care about helping out fixing real problems.

its not that i just have lots of little problems thats all i don't seem to get big ones ever and i'm starting to think its my spark plug wires having been rested on my exhaust manifold for awhile so i think that may be my problem

dont know about the iacv but im sure taking out the starter will help. as for the knock sensor i just did mine today. just take off the throttle body and you can do it. its really really really tight in there. at least for me i have monster hands.. gl
