Because the boys that designed them never had to replace one of them.
It depends on what year you have. Some are in the back of the head and others are in the block where the block coolant drains are located. Some have one knock sensor and others have two.
Remove the intercooler first. The knock sensor is located under its loation. But you will have to remove some breather pipes to get to it. You will need a long ratchet.
In a 1998 Nissan 200SX, the knock sensor is typically located on the engine block, near the cylinder head. Specifically, it can be found on the underside of the intake manifold, usually on the driver's side. Accessing it may require removing some components, such as the intake manifold, to reach the sensor.
it depends on what engine you have but most of them are a 5.4 or 4.6 or 4.2 and those have the knock sensors under the intake manifold on the passenger side.
There are no symptoms. The knock sensor is a passive part that does not do anything if it's not activated. Knock sensors codes on the Villager/Quest are usually caused by some other component, not the sensor itself.
It depends on the engine size. Some are located on the side of the engine block and some are under the intake manifold.
Also you can remove the front oxgyen sensor and drive it. If the problem goes away it is probably your catalytic converter. The dealer replaced mine because the van has less than 80000 miles on it.I have a 2000 and I tried to get around replacing the knock sensor. I replaced fuel injectors, wires, plugs, distributor and some other parts. All this helped, but van still lose power and surges after engine hot. I been told after all this that the knock sensor retards timing and causes the fuel not to burn as it should. It not only senses knock, but is a protective device for the engine. I just purchased one on eBay for $65 and will install later this week. Should have replaced it when I first got the code.AnswerThat does not sound like a knock sensor problem. the knock sensor senses "knocks" in the engine and retards the timing accordingly. The knock sensor should not affect stalling, the problems are probably not related. The knock sensor itself is located under the lower manifold. It is a lot of fun to get to.
On a 2001 Subaru Forester, the knock sensor is typically located on the engine block, specifically near the intake manifold. It is usually found on the driver's side, just below the intake manifold, mounted on the engine. Accessing it may require removing some components for better visibility and reach.
The knock sensor on a 2001 Toyota Sienna is typically located on the engine block. Specifically, it can be found on the passenger side, near the rear of the engine, beneath the intake manifold. You may need to remove some components for better access, so consult a repair manual for detailed instructions.
The knock sensor on a 1996 Subaru Legacy 2.2 is located on the engine block, specifically on the driver's side, near the rear of the engine. It is typically mounted on the underside of the intake manifold. To access it, you may need to remove some components, such as the intake manifold, as it is not easily visible. Always refer to a repair manual for specific guidance on locating and replacing the knock sensor.
In a 2000 Toyota Camry with a V6 engine, the knock sensor is located on the engine block, specifically on the rear side of the engine. You can find it near the intake manifold, below the throttle body. To access it, you may need to remove some components for better visibility and clearance. Make sure to disconnect the battery before attempting to replace the knock sensor.
The knock sensor in a 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora is located on the engine block, specifically on the lower part of the engine near the cylinder heads. It is typically positioned on the driver's side, between the intake manifold and the engine block. To access it, you may need to remove some components, as it can be somewhat difficult to reach.
