I was at my Big Bear house this weekend and on the way back my engine light came on although everything seemed just fine... Took into dealer today, they said Knock sensors 1&2 and that they would have to trace..... I insisted on more details... They pulled the plastic engine cover and showed me with a flashlight that there was a cooked rat or squirrel (chipmunk) lying on the engine under the intake manifold.
Please, no laughing!! :( The estimate was 10.5 houts at 125$/hr =1250$ to take off manifold and find eaten wires :o :o
Figure the job doesn't look that hard but will need some help....
First, what to watch out for when taking off manifold?
Second, if I find the damager wire and repair, will the engine light reset itself or do I somehow need to reset the error code - if so how?
Third, If all above is done, what to watch out for in reinstallation ? And for that matter any other advise would be very appreciated!!! :D
