Yes, but it will not pass any emission control tests without repair. Also, the engine probably won't operate at peak fuel efficiency, and will likely produce more pollution.
Yes, you should always run your vehicle with its Knock sensor.
you will have a knock sensor code and the car will run slugish. when a knock sesor code is set its retards the timing so the engine will not detonate. the easyiest way to fix it is relocating the sensor.
If your car would run lean the sensor would not be able to determine that and their could be engine damage.
If you run your rig with a bad knock sensor the computer will not be able to tell if or when your engine starts to knock (such as a rod knocking). That is if it isn't already cause the sensor is there for insurance. Make sure the sensor is bad and if so have it replaced asap. It is an expensive job cause you have to remove the intake to get to them (some engines have two under the intake). willyray3
The engine won't run.
No, a bad crankshaft sensor would cause the car not to start and run.
You can run a diagnostic test for the knock sensor, on your 2005 Chevy avalanche, by hooking the engine up to a diagnostic tester.
Yes
engine will stall out and run very bad.
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.
That car has a knock sensor, so you won't destroy it. It will, however, run terrible because the timing's so retarded by the knock sensor.
No it will not cause it not to run.
