Knock Sensor...HELP!!

Apr 29, 2006 4 Replies

Any help greately appreciated..I have a 1994 s10 pickup..4.3 v-6/5 spd trans.The two wires connecting to the temp sensor and the knock sensor were ripped off the sensors,breaking the knock sensors mushroom looking cap.It looks like maybe the wires got tangeled around the steering colume some how.Any way I must change the knock sensor now.The outer nut on the sensor will turn but the sensor itself is not turning out.The sensor is on the drivers side, between the 2nd and 3rd spark plug,behind the steering column.My only access is through the fender well..Jimmy..TIA



THe knock sensor is ususually in on of the motor block drain plugs. Try access the sensor from below and use vise grips to crush and grap it to remove it.

As long are you fully disconect the battery and the wire from sensor to it too.
