Front knock Sensor (1)
 
Need one knock sensor for the front, by the alternator.

Hopefully this'll cause my car to lose it's misfire and shakiness.

Are you sure it's a knock sensor and not a faulty spark plug wire/connection...that was my issue, switching out the plug and resolved the problem...GL

Maybe one of the new ones started off bad.

Im hoping that by replacing all my valve gaskets, and the front knock sensor(which has a crack in it) will resolve this..if not, I'll look into finding out which plug is being a pain in the buttocks.

any other suggestions?

From the looks of it, a combo wrench should do the trick...

If you got a camera down there I am assuming you can fit your hand.

iphone, and i can BARELY get my hand in there. 12mm combo wrench is just a bit too short. Plus, the sensor thats in front of it where the knock sensor plugs in, is in the way.
