no
YES. If you look at the passenger side of the engine block just in front of the starter you will see a small plug that is screwed into the side of the block. That is a coolant drain plug so you can get all the coolant out of the block. Remove it and screw the knock sensor in it's place.
I belive its on the driver side of the block (kinda looks like an oil sender only bigger around) I don't think the 5.0L has a knock sensor.
usually on the side of the engine by the crankshaft. The knock sensor provides the computer the position of the crank shaft to give it the right information to get correct timing. A bad knock sensor will cause it to run ruff or not at all The knock sensor senses spark knock or pinging and sends that info to the ecm. The ecm then in turn retards the timing until the ping stops. You can test the knock sensor with the engine running, with a timing light attached watch the timing marks as you tap the engine block with a small hammer, you will see the timing retard briefly.
Not much goes wrong with them! if your car is pinging under load this may be a bad knock sensor, but if you tap the block with a small hammer & the idol seems to change or the timing wanders this is the knock sensor failing. if the idol doesn't change this is a bigger issue
Right behind the distributor. It takes a special socket, too.
