XJ8 Knock Sensor

I need to replace the knock sensor on a 2001 XJ8. I understand it's located under the intake manifold. Does anyone know how difficult it is to replace?

    Thanks. At least I now know I won't be wasting my time taking off the manifold.

Pretty Difficult you have to remove the complete intake and injector rail. You will need both side intake gaskets and the plenum gasket.

How to replace a knock sensor on nissan pathfinder 1998

http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/pathfinder/7890-3-3l-knock-sensor-relocation.html

I didn't find this link until after I had already disassembled my truck. This is the hardest job that I've taken on thus far, hope I can put it all back together properly. I changed the gaskets on the valve covers since I had everything off.
To answer your question: It's under your lower intake manifold, so it's a hard job!
