Re: knock sensor question

If ya warm it up then let it cool down it should have a vacuum of sorts on the system.
If ya are real quick ya may not get TOO wet.

Re: knock sensor question

when you are unscrewing it, just keep pushing it inward until the very end and have the other one in hand, keep pusing in on the old one to stop more stuff from coming out and do a quick swamp..Easy.

Re: knock sensor question

ok thanks. I didnt get to it yet though, I just bought a whole bunch of parts like coil pack, plug wires, knock sensor, cat, spark plugs, vacuum hoses, water pump and next is the distributer, fuel pressure regulator, egr valve and fuel injectors trying to get rid of my hesitation and to make my life easier... i took the y-pipe off today along with the starter, altenator and tensioner pulley, what a job that was . after that is done i have to go to the rear of the car and instal 3.73 gears.
