Knock Sensor on a 99 GST

[sillylepricon37]

So I have finally come to the conclusion that the knock sensor is the reason why my exhaust manifold is glowing red and its making my timing retard. causing my motor to run like shit and the turbo not boosting the car. I think its disconnected or something but i cannot find the sensor. I know its on the passenger side on the block behind the engine under the intake manifold. I wanna know what it looks like and exactly where its located because i cant find it. any help will be appreciated

Yeah, it sounds like you know where it is just look a little harder. It's on the back of the block, towards the firewall, under the intake manifold, and a bit to the passenger side. Here are some of the best pictures you are going to find of what it looks like and where it is so hopefully this helps.

What makes you think it is the knock sensor? Do you have any logs? How much boost are you running?

Still have a cat? Hit it with a deadblow hammer or a chunk of wood. If it rattles replace it.

put the new knock sensor on this morning, and no glowing. ran better but then one of my spark plug wires came un done and it was only running 3 cylinders. Manifold started glowing again.
