Knock sensor replacement
Hi All
Now that I have my tranny out of my 88 F250 302 5 speed due to clucth replacement, I noticed that I have a better view at the knock sensor. This sensor is way behind the engine block.. Need to rplace because the top is broken off.
Does anyone have experience getting this out and how is it done.
thanks,
Runner

It just unscrews. I just replaced my engine, swaped to a Mustang shortblock and mass air conversion. The new block didn't have the hole for the knock sensor so I called FMS to inquire about what I should do. I removed it to check it out. It will be easy to install a new one in your block.

How Aout on the 300 Six?
All:
Does anyone know where the knock sensor is on the 4.9 six? I've got the code indicating a bad knock sensor and want to replace it.
Is it only possible with the tranny out?
Is there any way to test these things? I'd like to scavange one from a junk yard, but test it before I install the "new" one.

Peter,
Don't know how to test one. There a line that goes to mine and it's broke off. On my F250 302 you can see it behind the back of the engine block and could get access to it. I could see it alot better with the Tranny out and have better access. Don't think you have to have it out to do this.
