Tool for knock sensor

[LaN-]

2 questions,

what tool do i use to bolt down the knock sensor. 15/16's with a slit down the middle?? (cant find one anywhere)

and what torque spec do i tighten it down to? (in the book it mentions 14 - 18 ft lbs but my torque wrench starts at 20 would that be ok?)

I work at Sears and i have purchased one from there. As far as torque specs, if you over tighten the knock sensor you will damage it and it will not read correctly. You can go borrow a torque wrench from autozone that will read that far down, or you can do a rough estimate and tighten it a little bit more than hand tight. So i would lean more towards the 14-15 ft lbs, are you sure it doesnt say 14-18 in lbs. It has been a while since i have looked, but always check the units!!!

Sorry for the Hijak but does anyone have a pic of where the knock sensor is located on a
2g? Or a good explanation?

You should go get a smaller 3/8 wrench. Imo its best to run them loose as possable.

Just use an adjustable wrench. That's how I replaced mine.

2G's do have a knock sensor. Its located on the block below the intake manifold on the throttle body side.

Hm, ok maybe i'm wrong. Isnt there something different about the way the knock sensor is in a 2g? Or mabye its just in the logger.

Yes, they have the knock sensor, but you can't monitor it with an OBD logger.

Adjustable wrench here as well. Also Ive always done mine only ( a little) more than hand tight.
