Knock Sensor Question
Knock Sensor Question I get a code that reads that I have a bad Knock Sensor 1 P0327(Bank 1)
My question is which one is it? the front one or the back one? I know its recommended to replace both but im on a really tight budget I need to get the car to where im re-locating and I dont want to drive far with that sensor being bad. Any help would be great. Thanks.

You cant really "check" the wiring harness effectively since its a 5V reference system there. Id replace the front sensor and replace the knock sensor harness itself since when a sensor goes south it shorts out the harness connected to it. I've tried the splicing and soldering trick with a new pigtail for the bad sensor and harness section but with the intake off its much easier to spend the 40 bucks and replace the whole damn thing...Driving with a bad knock sensor wont hurt the car for the short term but it will not run at its full potential.
