Knock Sensor Install On Honda Pilot 2010-2014

[@soukiallen1]

just finished the whole job and its a success it turned out the knock sensor wire was chewed up. so it wasnt talking back to the computer. i ended up soldering the wires and wrapped it with a thick insulation. now my pilot runs a lot faster and there is no more delay when i punch the gas.....

[@juanparra700]

Hello, did you use all new gaskets?

[@fixyowhip4394]

Yes indeed I did use New gaskets just to be safe

[@maribelc6399]

will the location of this knock sensor 1 circuit 1 be the in the same location for a Honda Odyssey 2014 LE?

[@rodneywilliams7756]

How hard was it to get the front manifold off

[@fixyowhip4394]

its pretty easy, I recommend using a angled wrench to reach the bolts easier and maybe a small hammer is they are on to tight, also the far left bolt was the hardest part... its next to the power steering pump I highly recommend loosing up the pump then you can reach the bolt super easy.

[@rydeez2377]

5 bolts to remove intake manifold and you don't need to take off the bolts around the plenum that you call a valve cover.

[@norvinramirezmecanico.1290]

I was thinking the same, the manifold looks like is only the center bolts.

[@Josiahjcarter]

How many bolts to take off lower intake? I got the 4 but mine isn't coming out. I took off the power steering pump too!

[@fixyowhip4394]

I believe it had 8 there’s 2-3 on the lower size

[@feelingsaucywithchefanthony]

There's 5. He didn't mention the 5th on the right back side of the manifold.

[@r.seaboats6666]

stupid mice chewed up my wiring I could see it on my little camera now I need to pull my intake off as well to fix the wiring

[@jimm6284]

Did the wiring harness come with the sensor and, if so, where did you buy it?

[@fixyowhip4394]

I bought the wiring harness from the Honda dealer it was about 15$

[@anglegrinder4630]

Every knock sensor breaks in half and is brittle harness just get the whole kit

[@Alex1997626]

How did you access the far left bolt of the lower manifold?

[@fixyowhip4394]

I had to remove/loosen the 2 bolts holding the power steering pulley after that I was able to access the bolt with a angle wrench. Hope this helps.

[@anglegrinder4630]

You don't need to unhook the hoses on power steering pump just move it,take the plastic doohickey off and it's right there plenty of room

[@anglegrinder4630]

It's right there when the steering pump comes off any wrench or ratchet will do

[@krystalleilani7646]

Good stuff😊 Keep up the good work !

[@ishtlutz1261]

How long would you say this job takes?

[@fixyowhip4394]

Isht Lutz this job took me about 3-6 hours mostly because I was recording but there is a pesky screw near the power steering pump, once you get to removing the manifold.

[@anglegrinder4630]

I just did mine,2hrs

[@anglegrinder4630]

You HAVE to take the power steering pump off,6 bolts including the plastic rack which really looks no purpose other than to be In your way,1 bolt

[@soukiallen1]

@@anglegrinder4630 i removed 3 bolts on my power steering 2015 pilot

[@anglegrinder4630]

@@soukiallen1 that's all that's needed,and then that stupid plastic bracket,but I had the whole engine open to do a valve adjustment aka the VERY VERY long way

[@anglegrinder4630]

Anybody know if it's fine to not put the far left bolt back on?After taking it off I put the pump back on,can I get away with it or too risky?

[@fixyowhip4394]

I would recommend putting the far left bolt back on, just to be safe... you don’t want that to be an issue later then you’ll have to go back there just to install the far left bolt.

[@anglegrinder4630]

@@fixyowhip4394 ok that's all I need,and it's not that big a deal anyways to take off power steering,you don't need to disconnect the hoses btw,just bolts and move it over

Just one sensor on the top inside the engine I seen.

[@soukiallen1]

can i get away with using the same gasket onthe intake manifold...?

[@MrMotor11]

Thats what i'm planning to do right as we speak.... it doesn't look old or brittled

[@anglegrinder4630]

It's 24mm for the knock sensor itself not 32mm

[@soukiallen1]

i used 27mm for my honda pilot 2015

[@KemikalReaktions]

Wtf man. You didn’t even show the hardest part.. how do younger the intake manifold right over the sensor off...?

[@fixyowhip4394]

there are 4 bolts 12mm....the far left one is the hardest next to the power steering pulley you may have to loosen the pully to access the bolt with an angle wrench

[@KemikalReaktions]

@@fixyowhip4394 yeah. Ended up figuring it out. There is 5 bolts on the back side of the intake manifold on the odyssey. Sorry to blow up like that. Was ready to commit suicide when I was working on the car for my wife. Lol.

[@soukiallen1]

@@KemikalReaktions i know how you feel sam i ended up stripping one of the stupid 8mm nut and i almost cried. luckily i was able to chiseled it out and replaced it..also if you listen very carefully to the song he choosed, it has the word help me!!! that made my confidense go down the drain a little bit.

[@feelingsaucywithchefanthony]

It's on the pilot too. He didn't mention it

[@fredchen984]

I am not lucky the 09 pilot’s manifold got stuck on the driver’s side rod. Seems using too much thread lock, I have to give up after using heat gun and pry bar😂

[@JoseGarcia-qz9vy]

👍

[@howtocookinshorts]

You didn't show how you actually took out the manifold to get to the sensor. I can't remove mine after removing 2 nuts and 2 bolts. What's the secret. That is a big step!!

[@fixyowhip4394]

Okay so I had to actually loosen up the power steering pump and there’s also a secret under bolt, that’s under the manifold. you need a special tool to reach it I noted that part in the video.

[@fixyowhip4394]

Look at 4:26 I noted that hidden bolt near the power steering pump it’s the worst bolt ever.

[@howtocookinshorts]

@@fixyowhip4394 i got the one next to the power steering pump. Are there 5 not 4

[@fixyowhip4394]

@cayennethony4291 it’s only 4 did you get the one on the opposite side where I used that hammer?

[@feelingsaucywithchefanthony]

It's actually 5. There's one in the back on the right hand side. You should take this video down dude. If you can't show the entire process, you shouldn't make it public.

[@jaredbowman2550]

👍🏾

[@biffroberts5906]

6 minutes of nut loosening and fast forward through the main part of the job. Kind of useless when you can't see what your changing.

[@alanjohnson2912]

Yes 5 Bolts😂😂😂
