Knock sensors are in the block, I suspect what you think is a knock sensor in the intake is really something else. Got any pics?

Use the one that your wiring harness reaches.

You really don't need the knock sensor... Just keep good fuel, and a proper tune up,
you'll be fine, all you'll get is a code during the KOER test...
