Couldn't be easier. Once you locate the knock sensor below and behind the intake manifold, it is held on with one screw through the middle and connected to the wiring harness by one plug. Finding it is the hard part. --Ken

No. The knock sensor's job is to detect detonation, or uncontrolled ignition of fuel in the cylinders, and adjust ignition timing accordingly. With a faulty knock sensor, detonation can cause scored on the piston and cylinder walls, damaging your engine.The good news is it's a fairly cheap part, and easy to replace. It is held in by a single bolt, and is located on top of the driver's side of the engine, just aft of the intake manifold.
