where is the knock sensor locted at on a 96 nissan maxima?
i have a 1996 nissan maxima i need to change the knock sensor i need to find out where its located i really need to fix this car i drive a long way to and from work its costing so much in gas i loose half of my fuel with this prob A: The knock sensor is located below the intake manifold, right in the middle of the “v” of the engine. Here is a link to a “how-to” guide that shows exacly how to change it, with helpful pictures: http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/507 It is a tight space to work in, but with the help of a long-extension ratchet, and a telescoping magnetic tool ($5 at the parts store – looks like a radio antenna with a magnetic tip), you can easily do it yourself. The most difficult part is getting the bolt threaded when you are reinstalling the new knock sensor. You can probably find a new sensor on ebay for a good price compared to the dealer’s parts department. It took less than 30 minutes to do this job on my Maxima.
