I've been experiencing a maddening engine shudder for the past several weeks, and finally the car threw a CE that my Knock Sensor 2 was bad. So decided to change it, Knock Sensor 1, the fuel filter, and the PCV valve. I removed the alternator, and went to work. It was fairly easy to replace the PCV valve, and fuel filter, but the Knock Sensor 1 was a bear, and knock Sensor 2 was IMPOSSIBLE to reach...even when I tried to move the AC pump out of the way. For the life of me, I can't figure out how anyone has hands small enough to reach in there from the front. So I guess I've got to remove the intake collector, huh?
And by the way, I got all my parts from the Subaru dealer, and the knock sensors were $48 apiece.
Maybe since I have to remove the collector anyhow, I'll install phenolic resin spacers from Outlaw Engineering while I'm at it. Now if I could just figure out what's making my engine stumble...
