[Shotimes] Knock sensor location?

[Paul L Fisher]

Yes, you need to fix the stalling. The code you are getting for the knock
sensor is most likely because it isn't hearing the knock induced by the
flooring it halfway through the test.

Well, my KOER tests do indeed report a problem with the knock sensor. 
However, I have yet to get a KOER to complete without the engine 
stalling shortly before giving me the goose flash.  I assumed the 
code just showed up because of the stalling problem...maybe it's 
legit after all.

I'll look some more for the SPOUT connector and the "octane shorting 
bar" too.  I have yet to find either one.
