    Which loom do I need to cut into for the relocate? I bought a new tail and sensor off Amazon (link) and was about to cut into the loom (highlighted in red) when all of a sudden I realized I wasn't quite sure if I was in the right place. I watched (this video) on youtube which makes me think I'm...

    Before all of this happened I had a engine light on for about 2 weeks and it went away, I'd say about 2 weeks later is when the first problem started to occur.

    I'm glad to see I'm not alone with that damned knock code! I'll probably do a replace soon. I'm not going to bother moving it this first time. I'm a noob here, but fairly mechanical, and am excited to start tinkering a bit more on my X. I've already replaced the headliner and removed the nerf...
