Should look like this...AutoZone.com | Shopping | Parts | Product Detail - Knock Sensor I am not sure if there in the same the locations on the '93's, so I don't want to post an underhood pic of mine and steer you wrong.

Your knock sensor is on the front face of the upper intake. If you pop the hood and stand in front of the car and look at the upper intake (before it splits into individual runners), the sensor will be front and center. Very easy to access. If you think it's giving you problems, just unplug it and forget it.
