Hi,

The knock sensor on this engine is under the intake manifold. See pic 1 below. Pic 2 is the very basic replacement directions. I included it so you have the torque specifications.

Now, the remaining pictures are the directions for removing and installing the intake manifold. Take a look through the directions and let me know if you have questions or if I can help in any way.

Take care,

Joe
