Default knock sensor woes
Well I have myself a nice little problem. I decided to change my knock sensor on my 85 since I have been getting a code 43 and it has been pinging.So I crawl under the car and proceed to TRY to loosen the sensor and (snap) the housing breaks off leaving just the threads sticking out of the block.I have tried heat,PB Blaster,and miscelaneous tools with no luck. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
