91796, Removing the knock sensor Posted by EclipzeGamer, Jul-24-05 04:21 PM Ok, this is going to sound real dumb, but three of us tried for two hours to remove that damn knock sensor, but we just can't get it. I managed to rotate it 180 degrees though. Does this damn thing unscrew, unclip, or what? All the Chiltons says is to remove it. Thanks! Smiley face 4 life! Jaeson '96 Eclipse RS
91797, RE: Removing the knock sensor Posted by micyek, Jul-24-05 04:27 PM I think you have to use the same "socket" you use to take out the oil pressure sensor. I forgot what it's called....try a search on removing the oil pressure sensor.
91800, RE: Removing the knock sensor Posted by BOOSTED ECLIPSE, Jul-24-05 04:47 PM Yeah, the sensor unscrews for the block. Yours may have rusted up some making it hard to remove. Soak it with some penatrating oil.
91801, RE: Removing the knock sensor Posted by boomer_98gs, Jul-24-05 04:53 PM PB Blaster aka SQUIRRELL PISS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! solves any problem with stuck/rusted bolts, and you can clean your guns with it while you wait for it to soak in!!! $4 at autozone. I recommend this for any automotive tool box.

91803, RE: Removing the knock sensor Posted by EclipzeGamer, Jul-24-05 07:09 PM Bah, sorry. Should have been clearer. I'm having trouble getting the electrical connector off the end of the sensor. Smiley face 4 life! Jaeson '96 Eclipse RS
91804, RE: Removing the knock sensor Posted by ner947, Jul-24-05 07:26 PM Just pull it off... Poke it with a screwdriver if you have to.
91830, RE: Removing the knock sensor Posted by thedawg, Jul-26-05 06:51 AM It has one of those red-tab locking connectors IIRC. Look at your coil pack on the valve cover. Theres a red tab that slides to the right until it clicks, and then theres a button you press to release the latch. Then you can slide the connector off the sensor. Personally, I ripped out all my red tabs because they piss me off.
