The knock sensor is on the firewall side of the engine. It's hidden below the intake manifold and above the oil filter.

You will need a 12mm box wench. I just removed mine from the bottom while lying on my back in the driveway. It took some time.

Do NOT take off the fuel injector rail like I did as some web advice says (they were saying you can get it from above between the intake runners = no way.)

I changed my knock sensor because that was the trouble code my car gave repeatedly. Problem (stalling and not starting) was not the sensor.

Now I think it's the EGR that's stuck. It's way easier to replace as it's on the top of the engine on the firewall side. Haven't done the repair yet. Just warning you that it's not always the Knock Sensor despite the trouble code!!!
