The knock sensor is located under the intake manifold. Not an easy job to change without some experience.

A knock sensor code will not cause a shut down.

Hi Brandi,here's a link to the knock sensor.Here's what it look's like.

it is buried in the engine. Do not change it even if you get a code. It is a passive sensor and will not affect the engine. $600 to change it and it won't run any better.

blessdwth3, Your knock sensor is a round unit that is about an inch and a half in diameter and is usually located on the back side of the engine block, usually near the middle. Just unscrew it to replace it and put wire back on. The speed sensor is usually located on the transmission on the long side extending to the right side of the vehicle. Take out the hold down and pull straight out, a little twisting motion will help with this. Put in new sensor and hold down bolt and replace wire. If you have a code reader then use this to clear the codes. If not, remove the negative battery wire (black wire) for about a minute and this will erase the codes.

do not ever change the knock sensor unless you have $600 to throw away for nothing. You need a new distributor. teh cam sensor is going. it's in the dist. & not serviceable.
Buy a Rich Porter reman on ebay for $200. They will run cold whent hey start to fail, tehn totally fail.

it's in the valley of the engine. Do not ever replace it even if you get a code. A knock sensor will NEVER casue a driveabiity problem. It only retards timing 6 degrees if it senses spark knock. It also sets a code if an engine mount is broken and the engine rocks up and down on acceleration.
