How to remove and install the knock sensor on Ford Ranger?

The knock sensor is found between the cylinder heads on V6 engines, and on the left side of the block on 2.3L engines. Disconnect the negative battery terminal cable. On 2.3L engines, disconnect the sensor harness, remove the mounting bolt and sensor. A new sensor is needed once the old one is removed. On V6 engines, remove the intake manifold and noise shield if necessary. Disconnect the sensor electrical connector, which varies in location depending on the model. Remove the sensor retaining bolt and sensor. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring the bolt is tightened securely.
