CUSTOMER CARE
A:
It honestly depends on your vehicle. For help with your project, I recommend getting a repair manual specifically for your vehicle. It should be able to help you with detailed instructions on how to do many things.Answered on 11/10/2010 by Mike the Auto Parts Master from AAPA:

Q:
what does the knock sensor do?mAsked on 10/14/2009 by melbak from Amite, LA1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
It allows the engine to run with the ignition timing as far advanced as possible. The computer will continue to advance the timing until the knock sensor detects pinging. At that point the computer retards the ignition timing just enough for the pinging to stop.
A knock sensor assures that you're getting as much power and fuel economy as is possible from your engine.Answered on 10/17/2009 by Paul from Advance Auto Parts
