Default KNOCK SENSOR LOCATION ON 92 Bonnevile SE

I know this may sound a little lame or something.. but I have been to a lot of garages and cannot find a mechanic other than the dealer who can tell me where the knock sensor is!!

I live in the middle east and none of the camel jockey mechanics out here know where it is!!

The dealer is too expensive...

If anyone can tell me, or show me with an illustration, where it is ... That would be great!!

Thanks

Default Pontiac Bonneville SE knock sensor

The car is a 92 pontiac Bonneville SE. No supercharger...

It is the first model to come out in the new shape... After the older 80'* models.
I have a code 43 ... Technicians say it could be the knock sensor or ESC failure...
The car is running fine... So I am guessing there is no problem with the ESC...but there is a notable a loss in performance, increased fuel consumption... and it there is a little more noise on acceleration(load) coming from the engine...

Everyone says that the wiring may have come loose or something.. but no one knows where the possible knock sensors are located on this engine...
Thanks for your help!!!
AJ
