The knock sensor is located on the back of the block, above and slightly to the right of the oil filter. It's damn near impossible to get to from above without removing the intake manifold (at least for a big guy like me...someone with skinny arms and hands might manage it). The harness connector is a round plug, and will be black or green, depending on model/year etc.

You'll need a 22mm socket, if i recall. It's actually really easy to get to from under the car. No worse than changing the oil filter.

Had my knock sensor replaced on 93 prelude a few days ago and the oil filter needed to come out(limited amount of room to use tool) so you might as well do an oil change at same time. If engine light was coming on, reset after sensor is installed.

Oops...make that a 27 MM socket. And you're going to have to take the oil filter off. forgot that part.
