    OK so i pulled both knock sensors to replace them on the GTP since the rear one was damaged and figured it was time to R&R the sensors...new cam and crank sensors on the way in since i decided to order everything and save myself some money along with the knock sensors and just kinda prepping everything since i have been stuck in the hospital...anyway when i pulled the knock sensors i had a ton of water pour out and cannot find if that is normal or not...just need to ease my mind here and trying to see if its something i should worry about or not...

    i had to get a new knock harness for the rear because that was the wiring that was hardwired into the fuse box that i removed and being the sensor was broken i figure with it not bypassed anymore could be part of my rough running issue before the car died...

    Funny enough, the factory service manual has you use these as the engine coolant drain plug!

    Just make sure you be prepared to bleed coolant!
