I've been getting spark knock on my '95 and have done all the usual things,
like you. I am beginning to think my belt drive radiator fan (this car has
both electric and belt driven) has a bad clutch. I never hear the fan roar
anymore and the outdoor temp gauge used to be stable, now it changes a lot
depending moving or stopped for a lite. It is most noticeable when the car
is warmed up. Water temp gauge never goes above half, but I am not sure it
is linear.
Good luck! Let us know what fixes it, please!

I am getting spark knock. cleaning MAF did not help. ECT, ACT, EGR, Fuel
pressure all good. I will try colder plug next, hot and humid weather is the
worst and gas grade makes little difference.
thanks

I recently had to replace the intake on my 97 crown vic. while doing that I
noticed there was NO knock sensor in the valley. there was a spot that
looked like it should be machined out to have one, but nothing there. also
were no wires leading into the valley, I was concerned that it might be in
the rear of valley so I looked for wires. only thing there was the coolant
tube and there was nothing under that also.
My question is where else would it be, the dealer I bought it off (Ford)
could not find any manual reference stating any other location for it.

Is it pinging/knocking? If so clean the MAF and change the fuel filter. If
not, you worry to much
