3SGTE Knock sensor?!

I think my knock sensor in my ST185 might need changing, my CEL was coming on and the code that I pulled indicated the knock sensor. I have read that these are shitty and break easily. Can anyone give me a picture of the actual sensor, I am pretty sure that I found it, I looked thru the drivers side tie rod hole and think I saw it, it's screwed into the block and has one wire and a grey plug right?
Anyone have one I can buy, and any hints on changing it?!
Thanks

Yep you found it. Just unscrew it and when you screw the new one in, coat the thread with some greese.
I have one from a 5MGE you can buy.

Only big dollar aftermarket ECUs have knock control. All the knock sensor does is detect knocking/pinging.

I have no idea if the 5MGE knock sensor is the same. But for $10 you can have it.
