I just replaced both of mine as well and ordered a new harness. The front knock sensor was rusted to **** and the harness looked terrible. I was glad I changed out the harness as well considering how fragile they can be.

I would honestly just change out the harness as well so you know its all new and you dont have to play the guessing game.

Good luck!

Just changed both sensors and harness. For a couple hours it came up as low input....
replaced plugs, inspected injectors, coils, wires. Drove it hard for half hour or so and it quit sending signal, and hasn't shown up since. Try cheap easy stuff first, drive it hard for a little while and if it persists or gets worse, tear up the engine and replace the harness.
I have no experience working on cars and I did it on my own(except for the checking coils and injectors) so best wishes on the sensor harness.

Nice car btw.
