The cable should be attached by a cable to the inside of the little box.

If your check engine light keeps coming on then it is telling something:D.

Depends on what your doing prior to the light coming on.
For example: I went to get gas the other day...and I filled her up with 91 and I drive out of the lot and BAM! check engine light. I pul the code 1-4-3, which is the knock sensor, but it was just some bad mixture of gas which set it off. A couple weeks and still no light.
