Because the knock sensors are located below a cheezy plastic cap under the intake water will seep in and pool up in the knock sensor cavity. It mainly affects the rear sensor but if your changing them you might as well do both. The harnes can become corroded as well. If its messed up change it. Mine was alright so its still installed without any problems. What I did to hopefully prevent this from happening again is use RTV and built a dam to block water from going into the cavity. Its about 1/2"-3/4" tall and wide and wraps about half way around the sensor. Its worked out great and have had no problems since.
Yep, there's a TSB that outlines building the dam of RTV to help prevent future water intrusion and corrosion

It won't necessarily show as knock retard, but if you look at you actual timing you will see it is lower than usual, depending on your low octane table.

Intake manifold is off, knock sensors are out, I'm too hungry to do anything more before dinner.

The rear sensor was literally submerged. Probably 2.5" of water in there.

When pull the manifold to put the blower on i will double check mine. Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah definitely check. My dumb *** didn't when I had the manifold off.

At least when you pull yours off, a "more fun" manifold will be going on.
