Yes, apparently that makes a difference.

The harness should leave the sensor at a 60 degree angle to the right rear off a front to rear line and torqued to 17.4 ft-lbs.


If you were to take a microphone and pound it on the floor, what do you think the audio recorded it would sound like? A knock sensor is really just a mic bolted to the block, right? Bouncing it all around would totally make the ECU go crazy trying to figure out what it's listening to!
