Thank you for this video, well done. Also, can't beat the gentle ambiance of birds chirping and the chimes. Watched twice.

Incredible knowledge, thank you for sharing it! Great video. Even the birds agree!

Super informative, thank you. In a 1990 SBC a knock sensor is located in a drain plug just above the oil pan, after removal and reinstallation I got pinging under load and a "service engine soon" light with code 43. It needed substantial torque to remove, so I suspect it damaged the sensor internally.

Thank you for the clear, concise video. This is exactly what I was looking for.

How informative....great video man!

I just spent an hour digging out my intake manifold and cutting my hands on the cowl of my beloved Camaro SS and want to make sure these GM detonators are working right, now no guessing anymore👍

Thank you so much, i’m going to try this on my 99 Z28. I put a new wiring harness and new AC Delco knock sensors, but I’m still getting a low circuit. I may have over torqued it or it may just be a bad knock sensor. Really appreciate your help.

My sons new to him 1998 Camaro SS has the dreaded knock sensor of doom or in this case PITA code P0327. Not looking forward to getting the intake out of a 4th gen camaro lol but armed with the knowledge of your video I think we can effectively troubleshoot this thing quickly and easily. Hopefully there will be a smoking gun. As you probably know driving around with that code stuck on severely limits power available.

Very interesting. If you ever get a chance, you can buy meter leads that have various clips, ends, and connectors. It's cheap and makes jobs like this super easy. Lead connections on volt meters are generally universal, so a good test lead kit should fit. I have two meters and my kit fit both of them. It's one of those things once you've had it, you can't do without it.
