knock sensor replacement
My "Check engine light" indicates I need to replace a knock sensor. How many "Knock sensors" does a SVX have?

Re: knock sensor replacement
Two. The code should tell you which one is bad if I remember correctly.
Edit: 22 = right side, 28 = left side

Re: knock sensor replacement
Thanks for the info. I didn't pay attention after my mechanic said "knock sensor" so I don't know if he told me which side. I found a site on ebay which sells them for under $6 including shipping (not from China but Florida so I don't know about the effect of Irma),so I'll just order 2. Thanks again.

Re: knock sensor replacement
I checked Rockauto and their cheapest knock sensor is about $30 while these from FL. are under $6 but I need to check if they are made in China (my guess is YES) but I need to wait until after IRMA destroys FL. to try and contact the seller.The photos are a great help since I didn't know where the knock sensors are located but it looks difficult to reach those sensors, even w/proper tools since I don't have small hands.
