Sorry dude, but what you are calling knock sensors at the back of the intake valve covers are the Variable Timing Solenoids. The ICU sends a signal to them and they push the cam forward to change the valve timing. The knock sensor (there is only 1) is located under the lower plenum. Any time you pull the upper plenum, it is highly recommended that you also pull the lower and replace the knock sensor because of all the work you have to do to get at it.

Awesome video guys! Keep it up. I would suggest depressurizing the fuel lines though before you take them apart to minimize the mess.

Man thank you for the video. I blew the gasket out on the EGR block off. Pulling the plenum seemed daunting. thanks for breaking it down. Hopefully the car will hold idle when I replace the gasket haha.

@AaronsTalks

Sorry if this has been mentioned below, but bamboo shish-ka-bob skewers placed in the bolt holes will keep your plenum gasket in line (you don't have to do all of them, usually the four corners and a middle or two) and then simply lower the plenum onto the skewers all the way down to the block and the gasket will stay aligned. The skewers are smaller than the bolts so there will still be a tiny bit of wiggle to perfectly align the gasket up but way easier, especially if you're doing the job by yourself. From there, just remove one skewer at a time replacing it with a bolt.
