Not sure if its between the upper and lower or all the way down...but everyone says its a biatch to get at. Check your wire as far as you can first and maybe save yourself some work. Are you getting an error code related to the knock sensor? Generally they dont go bad...but the wire commonly does. ~Darin <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> 88' 4x4 *22R-EB Gen II* 87' $Runner *22R-EB Gen I* 85' Sillyca 22R-Esq "I LIVE IN MY OWN WORLD...THEY KNOW ME WELL THERE" Re: knock sensor questions....

You WILL also want to replace the wire that runs between the head and intake manifold. After paying the cost on the knock sensor and intake manifold gaskets, the wire is cheap. Plan on extra expenses. Hoses you might not know existed may need replaced. You may want to replace your timing belt and check both your idler pulleys since you'll be in the area anyway.

California BoostedInline6 Body Damage is Cool Toyota replaced my truck's knock sensor wire at no cost to me when they did my headgasket. They claim these wires have given them trouble due to heat, so you might want to look there first. 2000 4Runner | 5-speed | E-locker | Tundra/OME 2" lift | Stubbs Sliders | Deckplate/TrueFlow | Re: knock sensor questions.... #307668 08/28/03 04:07 AM Anonymous Unregistered its so tight in there behind the power steering and a/c pump that i cant find the wire....where does it lead to?...the wire harness?
