What Is A Knock Sensor? (Detonation, Pinging) [FREE LESSON]

In this free lesson we'll discuss what a knock sensor is, and how it works. Knock is also known as detonation or pinging. This is just one small piece of knowledge from a full, detailed, EFI Fundamentals course. This course covers some of the EFI tuning basics along with more advanced knowledge that forms an essential knowledge base for any EFI tuner. Without a doubt, knock is easily the biggest killer of any performance engine yet it’s still largely ignored or misunderstood by a large percentage of tuners. I’ve been a strong advocate for using quality audio knock detection on any tuning project for as long as I've been tuning, but there are a number of tuners who disagree, stating that all you need to tune the engine safely is a load bearing dyno with an accurate and sensitive torque reading. It would be great if this was the case, as fitting a knock sensor to an engine prior to tuning can be fiddly and time-consuming, particularly with a cramped modern engine bay, but the reality is it is a lot more fiddly and expensive to pull the engine out for a rebuild if you throw caution to the wind.
