Knock Sensor w/Teskid

[95chickn]

I recently brought a Teskid block for rebuild and realized that hose for Knock sensors is bigger that marauder block. What can I do here?

[MCAT]

Bolt the sensor to the back of the head

Throw it in the garbage, since it does nothing.

LOL ...why do I get the feeling that you are not a big fan of the Marauder's knock sensor?

Marauder gained a second knock sensor for the ’04 model year. Some insight into what a ‘knock sensor’ does (for those who don’t know):

Autopartswarehouse.com adds that a defective knock sensor does not properly adjust the timing of the engine when fuel enters the cylinder. This causes the vehicle to lose fuel mileage and acceleration. Additionally, a bad knock sensor causes irreparable damage to the engine. According to Repairpal.com, the knock sensor detects vibrations and transmits data to the engine computer. These vibrations or engine noises are caused by detonation.

When the knock sensor is damaged or broken, the detonation process is not regulated properly. Autopartswarehouse.com explains bad knock sensors also lead to excess engine noise. These noises are generally loud thumps and are a result of air or fuel entering the cylinder. Autopartswarehouse.com recommends identifying the symptoms of a bad knock sensor and replacing the part immediately. A new knock sensor helps avoid damage to the engine and eliminates costly repairs.

with a PD blower a knock sensor is useless.

You want knock protection get a Vampire knock controller.....

I disagree. The marauder knock sensor works excellent when tuned properly.

This is a must read.

There is a reason Ford didn't put knock sensors on a Terminator. Blower whine triggers them on too easy.

Thanks for this. Now wondering if the MartyO tune in my car took any of this into account...
