Thanks for the quick replies and info.
It looks like the wires have been cut really close to the sensor. I am thinking that maybe the knock sensor on the other cylinders is hooked up and this one is deliberately left disconnected. Maybe the motor only needs one.
I have no engine check lights & car runs great.
When I pull the alternator out next week I will look closer.
