The torque specification for the knock sensor on a 1997 Subaru Legacy is typically around 8.5 ft-lbs (or 10 Nm). It's important to ensure that the sensor is tightened to the appropriate torque to avoid damage to the sensor or the engine block. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for the most accurate and specific information.
In a 1998 Subaru Legacy, the knock sensor is located on the top of the engine block and to the left of the engine. More specifically, it is under the left rear intake manifold runner.
It is located on the engine block drivers side.
Where is the knock sensor located on a 1999 Subaru Forester?
It is threaded into the block, under the intake manifold.
that the knock sensor does
If somebody knocks on the front door of the Subaru, the KNOCK sensor, sets off the KNOCK Alarm....LOL
It is underneath the intake manifold. If you look straight down from your throttle body, you will see a sensor with one wire coming out and a bolt going through the middle of it, that is the knock sensor.
That depends entirely on what happened to it to make it need repairing.
The knock sensor is located near the idle air control solenoid valve on a 2001 Subaru Forester. The knock sensor is responsible for sensing vibrations caused by engine knock.
I found in a google search 15ftlbs torque for the knock sensor.
On a 1999 Subaru Legacy Outback, the knock sensor is typically located on the engine block, near the intake manifold. It is usually found on the driver's side, towards the back of the engine, and can be accessed by removing some components for better visibility. The sensor is a small, cylindrical device screwed into the engine, designed to detect engine vibrations and adjust timing accordingly.
It only involves one bolt and one wire, but its pretty difficult to access as it lives under the throttlebody.
