Review on 🔍 Enhanced SEO: Standard Motor Products KS197 Knock Sensor Upgrade by Justin Pavelko

Fixed my CEL P0325 on my 2002 Acura RSX - Base. I had to remove the intake manifold to get to this part which is next to the manifold. I'm not a mechanic by trade, but it took me 20 minutes to get to this knock sensor. Removing the old part: Remove the intake pipe, unscrew the 4 screws holding the throttle body. Disconnect all vacuum lines and fittings near the intake manifold. Remove the upper radiator bracket bolts (4 bolts) and the radiator bracket (2 bolts), then slide the bracket forward. Remove the 5 screws holding the plastic intake manifold. Remove the harness terminal 1 at the bottom of the green intake manifold. Pull out the intake manifold. Disconnect the knock sensor connector and loosen the knock sensor with a 27mm socket. Installation: in the reverse order of removal. Torque the new knock sensor to 23 ft-lbs. The intake manifold and throttle body bolts are torqued to 16 ft-lbs. As it says in the service book. Spare part quality: Excellent quality. I compared the factory fitted to this replacement part, exactly the same markings. Great price, more than half the cost of the original part.
