knock sensor location

[animal]

right,
having found out that noone makes a repair manual(i.e a haynes manual) for the supra , i am stuck as to finding parts on the engine so, can anyone tell me where i can find the knock sensor/s on my 1990 turbo as i havnt got a clue where to look ,
thanks


p.s a diagram would be more help, :banghead:

are they visible or hidden behind loads of stuff, ive sorted some more i think, just thought id check see if they are damaged or not connected right,
ive looked on the side of the engine that has the intake manifold but cant see what im looking for,

aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgghhhhh!!!
where are they :banghead:

There is a Haynes manual mate, usually on ebay about £15 :)

edit: found this on the Haynes site £18.99

Knock sensors with yellow arrows, its ok you don’t have to take the engine out.

superb,
cheers for that link,
halfrauds strike again, went in there yesterday to get a haynes manual and after 15 mins of looking in there folders they tell me that haynes dont do one for the toyota supra at all :duck:

Halfords won’t have them but ebay will, the CD repair manuals on ebay are better, you can also get a Toyota parts catalogue on CD. do a search on ebay. Or use the on line catalogue

Parts catalogue on DVD not CD must keep up with the latest technology.

that haynes manual isnt really much good. it covers the celica supra aswell as the supra. lots of stuff like "heres a picture of a celica supra engine" (7mgte engine simillar) and other such crap. It can be handy but you should either use the site linked above or buy a copy off ebay of that actual book
