If you look to the right of the knock sensor righ ton the oil valley, there might be a 1/4npt plug. some blocks had them some did not. i think it wa 95 that had them. you can use that. otherwise get a set of channel locks or vise grips and dig that damn sensor out and put in a new one.

My 98 eclipse had that 1/4 inch bolt next to the knock sensor when i was installing my turbo kit i decided i was gonna use it instead however as i loosened that bolt (and im not sure if its the same one your talking about but its right there) but as i loosened it i got hot coolant right in my eye lol.. for some reason its a tap for coolant? only tap i know of in my 420a is the oil sender unit. gotta figure a way to get that thing out. pull motor and rebuild, it'll be alot easier while its out to fix

That's a coolant plug.

You've never smelled burning coolant before?lol. very sweet. My cavy blew a hose and sprayed coolant on the exhaust mani, there was so much coolant smoke in the air I could taste it. just had to say that.
