The Knock Sensor (KS) is mounted on the engine, above the alternator and used to sense engine detonation. The knock sensor is a frequency amplifier with the sensor designed to resonate at approximately the same frequency as the engine knock. This allows relatively large signals to be sent to the Electronic Control Assembly (ECA) without electrical amplification and with a relatively small sensor. The ECA uses this information to alter the ignition timing to optimize ignition timing while reducing the occurrence of spark detonation.
to the rite and just below the coil
On a 2000 Ford F-150, the knock sensor is typically located on the engine block, specifically on the driver’s side, just below the intake manifold. It can be found near the crankshaft and is often mounted on the side of the engine. Accessing it may require removing some components, such as the intake manifold, for easier reach.
On the passenger side firewall, above the blower motor. There is a vacuum line attached to it that connects it to the top of the engine and an wires attached to it on the front.
IN YOUR ENGINE
what eng. do you have? if it is a 5.4 or a 4.6 it is under the intake manifold on the passenger side.
It is on the block, between the coil and the distributor. Good luck findng a replacement.
On the driver side of the motor. Its about give inches drone the motor mount.
Research associated engine problems.
this sensor is inside the distrib.
The 1997 Ford F150 4.6 liter engine throttle position sensor is located on the top of the transmission. The sensor will be connected to the fuel injection rail.
www.motorcraft.com doesn't list a DPFE sensor for the 1989 F150 with a 4.9 L ( 300 cubic inch ) straight 6 engine
The 1999 F150 4.2 does not have a temperature sensor. It uses a cylinder head temperature sensor instead. It is mounted at the rear of the engine on the head.
