3rzfe Code P0325 (Knock Sensor)

Hey all,

I've got a 1998 with the 4 cylinder 2.7L engine (3rzfe) in it. Did an upper engine refurbish recently (head gaskets, professional valve job, bunch of other gaskets and sensors), however I re-used the knock sensor for which I'm kicking myself now.

Recently been getting an intermittent P0325 code. Whenever it "appears" I get a distinct loss in power. Not terrible, but feels a bit sluggish. I picked up an OEM knock sensor that I'm planning on installing this weekend, but I'd like to see if anyone else has had this issue and what worked for them to fix?

Also - has anyone had success in replacing the knock sensor from behind the drivers side wheel, or is it an intake manifold off kind of job?

Thanks in advance.

 

Just to close the loop on this for anyone else - I got a hand on my knock sensor and it was loose! I've tightened it up for now but need to make some time to torque it to spec. CEL is off and its running great.
