What to do
- If P0327 and P0332 set at the same time, inspect for poor connections at the two-wire knock sensor harness located at the left rear side of the intake manifold near the top, just under the cover.
- Check the resistance of the knock sensors including the harness before reinstalling the intake manifold.
- Replace the rear bank knock sensor and build an RTV dam around the sensor to divert water away from it.
Caution: Do not form the RTV into a complete circle; leave the rear section open.
