Default Changing my PCM

Well my new PCM arrived yesterday and I thought the toughest part of the job would be jacking up the car to get to it. Well I read on the side of the new part about putting the original knock sensor back on? From all the examples on here I thought it was pretty much plug and play I'm a computer geek am I about to get in over my head?

It's very easy. You'll just be pulling the passenger wheel well liner, loosening the rear bracket screw and removing the front one, disconnecting the harness connectors and reversing the process to install.

You did have it pre-programmed with your car's specific data, right?

Cajundude did a great write up on this. It's in the DIY sticky, I think.
