I had an extremely hard time locating mine, so I'm trying to tell it's location better. Open the hood and looking from the front of the car near the rear of the engine on the drivers side you will see two cables that open the throttle. Looking from the front of the car, the knock sensor is located under the bare part of the left cable. It's extremely hard to see and requires a 12 mm socket and more than a six inch extension (I used a six and three inch extension) and ratchet. The socket and extension will fit between the cables just keep in mind the bolt (looking from the front) will be just a tad to the left with the extension inserted between the cables. I also removed the air box that was clamped to the intake manifold to swap the sensor out to get easier access to the wire connection.
