has anyone managed to replace the knock sensor on a 5th gen lude without taking the intake manifold off?

i'm getting p0325, knock sensor circuit malfunction........ i suspect i broke it while lugging the block around (although it didn't *look* broken.)

 

you should be able to do it from under the car if it's in the same place as the 93-96's.

 

sweet. i hope so.

 

Yes, you can remove the KS from underneith the intake manifold. It does require a 23mm (I believe will have to check later) deep socket to remove.
