The knock sensor is in the engine V under the intake manifolds and coolant crossover pipe. As it requires considerable disassembly and an expensive new gasket set to reach it, I suggest you make very sure there is something wrong with it first. You will have to remove the upper and lower intake manifolds and coolant crossover pipe assembly to reach it. Just because you are receiving a trouble code for it does not mean there is anything wrong with it. This sensor shares a circuit with other components that often will set a "ghost" trouble code.
There's no need to replace knock sensors, and there was never a 3.6 engine.
can you tell me where the knock sensor is located on a 3.3l mercury villager
the elictronic control sinsor at on a 93 mercury villager
This is an image. (below)
It detects detonation in the combustion chamber(s), then adjusts the engine timing to compensate.
It is under the intake manifold.
No. The knock sensor alerts you to the fact that there is an engine vibration that needs attention. Mine has been awaiting replacement for six months.
The knock sensor is located - are you ready for this? - in the valley of the engine under the intake manifolds. Both upper and lower manifolds must be removed to gain access.
The knock sensor is under the intake manifold, which has to be removed. This should be left to an experienced mechanic.
1999 - 2002.
the knock sensor is under intake, must remove intake and it is under two coolant lines.
