Knock Sensor

[midnightalero01]

i got my service engine soon code scanned at auto zone today and they said i need a new knock sensor... it's gonna cost about 25 bucks but does anyone know where it is and if it's easy to install so i can save on repair costs... also does anyone know where the wheel hub sensor is so i can make sure mine isn't just loose or something before i get that repaired as well

thanks

Was that the only code it threw, just for the knock sensor?

[midnightalero01]

yea just unthread it and take the old one out, i dont know whether you wanna add some teflon tape to the threads on the new one you are putting in....i know its pretty much a requirement with brass....but i dont know if it is when installing others like the knock sensor..........can anyone help me out on that?

if it's brass threaded like an oil press. sender, i would use teflon tape.
