Default how to replace the knock sensors or tell if they are bad?

both my knock sensors are throwing codes and i was wondering if there is a way to check to see if they are bad....the car does have a small miss and really pings on unleaded...found that out the day i bought it but have run nothing but premium since...

To replace them you just remove the intake and they're in the 2 holes in the valley cover.

If I am there I replace both of them at the same time. The PCM will throw a code.

Check the KS harness behind the intake first - www.gearchatter.com/viewtopic9148.php
