KNOCK SENSOR

Here is an oscilloscope reading of knock sensor!

A Knock sensor allows the engine to run with the ignition timing as far advanced as possible. The computer will continue to advance the timing until the knock sensor detects pinging or detination. At that point the computer retards the ignition timing just enough for the pinging to stop. A knock sensor also makes sure that you're getting as much power and fuel economy as is possible from your engine.
