Yep.
No it will not. The knock sensor is used to adjust the timing.
No, a faulty knock sensor will cause a code 43 normally. check for spark, diconnect a wire from a plug, install a plug in the wire, lay it on something metal, have an assistant crank the motor and watch for spark...
The sensor is bad. A properly-functioning knock sensor allows the ECM to advance timing until it senses a knock. It then retards timing until the knock just barely goes away allowing for optimal gas mileage.
yes when it is not working properly
The knock sensor advances the timing to optimize fuel efficiency. When it goes out, your gas mileage goes down.
You may have a defective knock sensor located in the side of the engine block.
No it will not.
the motor could pre-detonate or "knock" that can cause damage
No it will not.
You have another problem other then the knock sensor if the engine will not start and run. A knock sensor will not cause the engine not to run.
No it will not cause it not to run.
LS does not have a knock sensor. GSR does have a knock sensor
