Hi I have engine light coming on had it checked turns out to be the knock sensor, how the **** do you get your hand to it to disconnect the wire and the sensor itself?
regards john.
 
You need to remove the intake manifold to do it properly and be able to get a torque wrench in to nip it to the correct settings
 
Thank you for your reply Fahad, that is what i suspected I would have to do. Will have a go at weekend taking it off, no chance with hand my size getting in there without.
regards john.
 
Had this on my wife's FRV with k20 engine. You can use a decent quality aftermarket sensor but use a torque wrench otherwise it's either too tight or not tight enough and that can trigger the engine light.
 
Hi fitted new knock sensor on Sunday, yes i did use a torque wrench not been far today but so far all seems good no engine light up to now so fingers crossed thats the end of the problem.
regards john.
