Your description was spot on! Very easy knock sensor replacement! Hardest part was the plug, but took 20 mins!

Thanks for posting. I have about 429,668 miles on my 03 Accord EX 4 cyl. I watched several videos before attempting this. It took me less than 8 minutes to complete and saved a lot of $$ doing it myself. I used scotch tape to hold the new sensor in the 27mm socket as I hand-turned it into place. Removed tape from socket then snugged with ratchet. I did unhook the negative from battery in order for the engine light to go out. Runs so much smoother.

Good video! Another way to give you more space would possiblly remove the fan. Especially if its only 2 bolts and one or 2 wire connectors. Also if the socket is too deep, you could stuff paper towel in it to take up extra space

I used this technique to do this job. Although This was a much better video than a few others I have seen trying to illustrate this, a major difference between my 2006 and this video was that under my intake manifold runners, there is a black plastic thing preventing you from looking between intake runners and seeing the sensor and it’s connector. This made the job much more difficult, causing tool clearance/entry/exiting problems also, and a nightmare to get the connector reconnected. I had so much more time into it that I would have spent less time on the job if I had just removed the intake manifold and done it that way. You will indeed need a deep socket, and my new sensor for some reason was a hair loose in the 12-point 1 1/16 socket; fortunately, I had a 6-point.

I agree. My 2005 fortunately did not have that plastic piece. So lucky I was able to complete the job sooner. But irony of life....few mo ths after I have change my starter motor and I was left with no choice other than to remove the intake manifold and replace with new seal. Glad you got the job completed.

Great ingenuity with the clear tube to help put in new sensor. I got the old sensor out fairly easy, but having trouble threading the new sensor in. The 27mm socket is getting caught up on a rubber hose, making it way too hard to get the right angle on my 2004 accord Update: I couldn’t find any tubing that size. My 13 year old son was able to thread the sensor in with just his hand. Small hands for the win!!! And I got to teach my son the value of learning to do things for yourself.

Next time turn left before you go right. It helps line up the threads. Saves you from cross threading as well. Do that with everything

The duct tape is hilarious. If anything, use masking or painters tape so your tools don't have sticky residue afterwards. Alternatively, you could use a stick magnet to retrieve the sensor if it falls out of the socket. When reinstalling (any threaded part), turn it counter-clockwise first until you hear/feel it *click*. Then, turn clockwise to tighten. There's only one 'entrance' on the threads of a machined screw/bolt. When you hear/feel the *click*, you've found it. Make sure the screw is straight, though!

@ItchyKneeSon Ай бұрын

You can even turn it counter-clockwise a number of times to make sure it's THE click before you start tightening.

I changed my knock sensor earlier this evening. Originally used a 3-in long 27mm socket, but it didn't fit--a hose behind the intake manifold prevented the socket from settling onto the old sensor. Used a shorter 1.5-in long 27mm socket and it worked. Your video was a key source of info for my project. Thanks!

@mackn3wt0n 11 ай бұрын

@@theoma4576 No, I didn't duct tape the socket extensions--I trusted my locking extensions would hold together. However, after I got the old knock sensor off, I DID tape the new sensor to the end of a socket extension (without an attached socket), similar to what he does in the video with tubing.

Do NOT use an aftermarket Knock Sensor - Use Honda OEM, even if you have to pull it from a yard. The aftermarket (I used a Delphi) ones do not clear the engine code!!!

@balaofcanada 3 ай бұрын

I totally agree. Most Honda OEM parts are designed to be super sensitive for accurate readings. Aftermarket ones can keep throwing codes.

Thank you for your excellent explanation, and for your good camera work, lighting, and thoughtfulness. Also, it’ really clever the way you inserted the new knock sensor using a “tool” of plastic tubing. Tomorrow I’m going to follow your instructions to replace the knock sensor on my 2005 Honda CR-V. Hope it makes the engine warning light go off so the car will pass Calif. smog check! Thank you!

So I have been working off and on to try and replace this dang sensor and I realized that in most videos it looks relatively easy. This is because most of the videos that show this job are not cursed with a chamber assembly. So if anybody is having trouble seeing through their intake manifold, that is why. I hope this helps others who share my struggle, as I have been operating mostly blind while I do this. Also, for reference I have an 07 accord 4 cyl. Apparently they only have the chamber assembly on some 06, and 07 models.

I don't know what you call it, but it's the part where the latch is to the hood. The part you dangerously use as a shelf for your tools. .You can take off the nuts etc, and pop those couple of tac point. You can then lift and push back that back. it will give you about two inches more of room to get your arm in there and get it done easier. Otherwise, it's a bear.

Hey. Did you use a code reader to first make sure it's knock sensor code? Also did you make sure to use exact torque? My engine light came on within 1 day, then I noticed I torqued it too tight. So I used a torque wrench to get the exact torque as per my vehicle specification. If you did everything but still P0325 code came back, then I would look at the knock sensor wire harness which could be worn out. Goodluck.

Got ya thanks for the feedback. You can reset the code easy at any napa for free- Just in case its working well and not triggering the code since you replaced. I think a little tighter then hand tight is the proper torque. Has it been driving better since you replaced? @@jandreshernandez1657
