A lot of people do the knock sensor relocation rather than remove the lower intake manifold to access it. What they use is a knock sensor and knock sensor subharness for a 95-99 Nissan Maxima, cutting the two wires on the top side of the engine to the knock sensor and using the new subharness to splice into it and then bolt the new knock sensor to the intake. There is no need for a second sensor. Just web search "nissan knock sensor relocation" and you'll get lots of hits for how-to's.

I just wanted to thank you guys for so mech helpful advice. If you have time, feel free to chime in on a new topic I posted "New Sludge Question."
I read many of the sludge posts on this forum, so I sort of understand what to do, but the question is do I need to bother?
However it was a change of topic so I put up a new post.
Thanks again!
