If you are asking for the location of the knock sensors , they are located under the intake manifold .

The knock sensor harness plugs into the engine harness back behind the intake by the cam position and oil pressure sensors.

notice the two wire. and like the diagram says, its a light blue and dark blue wire on the plug.

That's coming off the back side of the fuel rail of the wire harness on the drivers side. the plug only comes off a couple inches from the main harness. And of course the knock sensors connector comes out the back of the intake.
