Had to replace the starter on my moms Toyota sequoia. Idk if it’s a common design on V8, but I had to take the manifold off just to get access. Read every that I should replace the knock sensors while I’m in there. Didn’t. 2 months later, check engine light for one of the sensors. FML
If I were to guess is your car made by GM, I had to do that on both a Malibu and Colorado. The Colorado needed me to take the air intake off but it was not that difficult.
Nissan Frontier. I could touch the sensor, but without taking the intake off I couldn’t get any tools back there. If I had a day to waste I may have tried to do it myself, but that doesn’t happen to me very often
Recently thought I’d try to change my own camshaft position sensors. Changed my mind when I realized I’d had to take the intake off to get to them.
