We are rebuilding my 2000 Ford Explorer and have a wire hooked into the wiring harness with a clip. The other end of the wire has a round circle sensor looking end. I need to know where the circle end goes.

This is a bit hard to visualize, can you post a pic? if the sensor is attached with a bolt through the middle it may be a knock sensor.

It may be attached with a bolt, I will try to send the picture again. Where does the knock sensor bolt into?

I did send, but the new system is having a few problems, anyway, according to Mitchell 1 data base, it is located under the inlet manifold, they do not supply a pic, but it will bolt directly onto the block, i am looking for a location pic elsewhere.

Thank you soooo much. We will continue to try to find the location. If you are able to find a picture, I would greatly appreciate it. My wish for Christmas that my car will be back together and running by then seems to be closer to reality now. Thank you!
