Hey Scotty, I recently purchased a 2005 Acura RSX base model to use as a daily driver for $2,500 with 138k miles.
The check engine light is on and the diagnostic scan from AdvanceAuto revealed my little RSX needs a new Knock Sensor.
I did a bit of research and unfortunately the darn thing is in a really hard to reach spot and the Acura shop wants $260 just for labor to replace it.
Car has been driving fine for the past couple months so I'm wondering if its something that I should do ASAP or can I just drive around without worrying about it?

It doesn't need to be done asap but it does need to be done. This sensor will save your engine if it is actually knocking. As long as it is running fine I wouldn't worry too much but it needs to be done.

Ok nice, thats a relief.
Thanks for the quick response Cjbman!
It's a PITA to get to and you should replace it ASAP. $260 with part and labor is ok in today's rates.
