Once you know the engine, you can:
* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource. It will have a diagram showing the sensor's location.
* Use a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your specific year and engine will have detailed diagrams and instructions.
* Use an online parts diagram: Many auto parts websites (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, etc.) allow you to look up parts diagrams for your specific vehicle by entering your VIN or year/make/model/engine. Find your engine block and you should see the knock sensor.
Without knowing the engine size, giving a precise location is impossible. The sensor is generally located on the engine block, often near the oil filter or on the side of the block close to the cylinder head, but its exact position varies between engine types.
