Hi,

The knock sensor bolts into the side of the cylinder block in front of the starter under the intake manifold.

I attached the directions below for the removal and replacement of the component, so you have a guide.

When installing the new one, it is very important it is properly torqued. See the last pic for specifications.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
