Knock sensor location 97 crown vic?
Your knock sensor may not be the problem. If your trying to used 87 octane fuel and your service engine soon light is not on, you may just need to use a higher octane fuel. I know the manual says you can use 87 octane fuel, but my 97 Interceptor knocked like crazy the first time I put 87 octane in it. I let my fuel get real low and filled up with premium (93 Octane) and my knock problem disappeared immediately. Hope that helps.
