Knock sensor codes on this vehicle are meaningless, the knock sensor does nothing unless the engine knocks. If you have this code there is more than likely a problem in one of the other emission-related devices, which often triggers this code first. My advice is to ignore it until another code pops up giving you more information about where to look. Do not replace the knock sensor, it will be expensive and will not stop the code from reappearing.
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 is under the intake manifold.
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.
I payed $117.00 at auto zone
There's no need to replace knock sensors, and there was never a 3.6 engine.
the knock sensor monitors preignition,spark knock and sends signal to pcm,pcm responds by adjusting ignition timing and fuel timing until knock is gone.
It is under the intake manifold. Darn hard to get to and expensive to change.
