Knock sensor location

Hello,

The knock sensor is located under the intake manifold between the cylinder heads on the engine block. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. Cheers.

The knock sensor is attached to the cylinder block-See below:

Did you buy new 1 so you know what your lookin for?

It's a 3.3 right? Cant miss it.

The knock sensor is located on top rear of engine see item no.3 below

The only problem I have with this picture is that it doesnt tell u that the knock senser is located under the lower intake manafold asmb the upper and lower intak manafold must be removed too replace this part it is a very involved repair lsauto

3 hours for a shop to replace it. A code number never identifies a bad part, just a failed system. To throw a 200 dollar sensor in on a guess is expensive.

The intake manifold needs to be removed.

Get a shop to confirm this before you spend this money.

Hi s moore,

you have to basically take off the top of the motor to get to it - its under the intake manifold.

Your observation about the battery is correct, at least for now, and until testing points to it later.

Your assumption about the oil is not correct. The starting system has no idea of the oil's condition. They do not talk with each other!

There is a clinker in your thinker about the knock sensor. First of all, that circuit wont prevent the engine from cranking or from running. Second, diagnostic fault codes never say to replace a part or that one is bad. They only indicate the circuit or system that needs further diagnosis, or the unacceptable operating condition. When a part is referenced in a fault code, that part is actually the cause of that code about half of the time. First we have to rule out wiring, connector terminal, and mechanical problems associated with that part.

The next problem is I really do not know what the symptom is or which system we need to look at. You said the engine stalled while it was running. That suggests a running problem. I do not know what a "wants to start" noise sounds like, so we could be talking about a starting system problem. Clarify whether the starter is cranking the engine at normal speed, or if not, exactly what kind of noise you are hearing.

So the engine cranks over slow? Or does it just make one click sound when you turn the key to the run position?

When you tried to jump start it what happened? Your alternator might have stopped charging.
