Service Knock Sensor

Service Knock Sensor


Service Knock Sensor

engine light came on went to autozone they scanned the computer, it said bad knock sensor. aside from that they where clueless where the sensors where and how many I had. I went online youtube found that this is a typical problem and many videos on how to fix, I even found Service Knock Sensor (GM technical bulletin update) on replacing the my knock sensors. take the youtube videos with grain of salt cause all of the videos showed a harder and crazily difficult way to disassemble everything even the videos from auto parts stores. anyway using my vin I got the gm part numbers I needed then found out that gm is using acdelco replacement parts now even if I ordered the parts from dealer would be this acdeelco part, so I then went to the acdelco web site using my vine got part number also cross referenced the part numbers with the gm part numbers just to make sure there the right ones. in short

--I ordered 2 (ACDelco 213-3521 OE Service Knock) and amazon did not have the acdelco wire so went with the (Dorman 917-033 Knock Sensor Harness) and new acdelco head gaskets kit Service Knock Sensor ( ACDelco Intake Manifold Gasket Set w/Pads & 10 Bolt(s)) also from amazon. in all took about 1 hour plus another hours looking for tools. works perfect, new and should get another 10 years of service or more from it. do it right the first time so you don't have to do it again don't reuse gaskets or bots with old worn out cracked and dried out rubber on them. GM technical bulletin update on replacing the knock sensors suggests to use new wire even if the old one still looks good and always use new gaskets. buying from amazon has good prices, fast shipping and easy returns, never a issue
