i think its underneath the top mount intercooler bud, basically where that joins to the throttle body look down on the actual engine casing and its there.

i have heard that you can move the sensor to somewhere that it doesn't pick up as much knocks which is better for older worn engines (like mine) is this right if so where do you move it to?
