What is a knock sensor for?
It senses preignition or pinging and adjust ignition and sometimes fuel/air to prevent it. Pinging is the sound you get when driving a standard up a hill in to tall of a gear

How does a 1992 Ford Explorer control detonation if it does not use a knock sensor to adjust ignition timing?
If your engine is "pinging" on your 1992 Ford Explorer, which does not have a knock sensor to protect the engine, you have to try and find the cause of your engine "pinging" and correct the problem. My 1995 Ford Explorer RAN FINE except for some "pinging" (worse with ------------ some brands of regular unleaded than others) so my guess was carbon deposits and I just ran through a tank of gas with a 20 ounce bottle of Chevron Techron Concentrate Plus in it. It's like night and day now. I just tested it out three days ago by setting the cruise control and driving up a fairly long steep hill. It only gave 3 little pings where I used to have to back off the gas and just let the vehicle slow down as I was going up the hill to keep the engine from "pinging" some other causes of engine "pinging" are: engine running too hot,EGR system not functioning correctly, timing too far advanced,lean fuel mixture,MAF sensor dirty ,driving in too high of a gear (standard transmission) According to Goss's garage (Motorweek television show) the two main causes of engine "pinging" are carbon deposits and EGR system malfunctioning.
Are all nic's pingable?
Nope ! Not all nics are pingable. It may also happen the same nic is not pinging , Which was pinging earlier. Nope ! Not all nics are pingable. It may also happen the same nic is not pinging , Which was pinging earlier.
How do you stop engine pinging at 1800-2200 rpm mountain driving 94 ford explorer PS no dist to retard timing?
On my 1995 Explorer, to keep my engine from pinging while driving up a long incline I had to keep backing off the gas pedal and just let the Explorer slow down. I was lucky that there was a slow lane, because I lost 21 miles per hour from the bottom to the top ! Goss's garage ( Motorweek television show) says the 2 biggest causes of engine pinging are a problem with the EGR system, or carbon buildup in the engine cylinders. In my case I ran the gas tank down to 1/8 th tank (which I don't like to do ) added a 20 0z bottle of Chevron Techron Concentrate Plus and added gas to the tank ( the 20 0z bottle treats 20 U.S. gallons ) I made that tank of gas last two weeks by just using the Explorer for a bunch of short trips and when it was down to 1/8 th of a tank again I filled up. By doing it that way the chemical had a chance to do it's job. There was a world of difference, I just set the cruise and it maintained the set speed all the way up to the top and only gave three little pings ! Some of the other causes of engine pinging are : vehicle running too hot, engine timing advanced too far , octane level of regular unleaded gas too low ( mine would ping worse on some brands of regular unleaded than others ) although each brand was 87 octane , lean fuel mixture , driving in too high of a gear (manual transmission) dirty MAF sensor.
What is pinging sound?
It is a sound that goes 'ping!'
Will pinging hurt a car engine?
Absolutely!
Where should the timing be at on a 383 stroker motor with vacum advance?
Advance the distributor until the engine pings then back off to the point the engine stops pinging, tighten the distributor. This will require driving a few test runs.
What would cause pinging in a 2002 Trail Blazer?
Pinging, knocking and detonation are all terms for a condition known as "pre-ignition,". That means some of the gas and air mixture is igniting in the cylinder before it's supposed to. And when that extra flame front crashes into the normal flame front (created by the spark plug), you hear a noise, and that noise is pinging. Pinging is something you want to avoid if possible. Engine damage can occur if pinging is severe. Pinging is caused by using too low an octane fuel. Use what is recommended in your owners manual. An engine out of time will also ping, so have the timing checked. Carbon buildup will also cause pinging. A product called Seafoam injected through the intake as outlined in the instructions on the can will help remove carbon and stop pinging. A defective EGR valve is another cause, and also overheating. So replace the thermostat and flush the cooling system.
Why is my laptop's ping so high when I bring it back home?
Depends what you are pinging. If you are pinging your work let's say, then it will be fast (smaller) at work and should be slower (larger) at home.
Why does your ford compressor make a pinging noise?
