Nothing. The knock sensor is a passive part that will not affect how the engine runs.
no, it is not.
First and formost be sure it is the cranksensor that needs replacement coz there is another sensor called knock sensor. Crank sensor is located near to the engine front pulley. Knock sensor is on the side of engine
The function of the knock sensor ob a sensor on a 1991 4.3 s10 is to provide the computer the position of the crank shaft to give it the right information to get correct timing. That would be the crank position sensor. The knock sensor monitors the engine for spark knock (ping) so the ECM (Engine Control Module) can retard the timing to eliminate it.
if it bolts on the starter assembly you are probably talking about the starter solenoid. basically its what makes the starter engage. if its a sensor that just bolts near the starter it could be anything from a crank position sensor to a knock sensor.
The knock sensor is on the left side of the block below the exhaust manifold.
No it will not. Has nothing to do with engine knocking. You need to define the word KNOCK. Need to ask your question again. THANK YOU.
The ECM controls the timing with information sent to it from sensors such as the crank sensor and the knock sensor.
front of motor in between intake manifold and oil filter housing nest to knock sensor
It uses several sensors on the engine. Crank posistion,knock sensor and what happenes is if the readings say there is a knock because of something like bad fuel it will send a comand to the ECM to either advance or retard the timing. the crank sensor tell the ecm were the crank is during rotation.
Make your way to the front of the engine, remove the plastic v-belt cover from the power steering pump inlet, the sensor sits just above the crank pulley. There's a plastic plug with two wires which needs to be pulled out from the knock/crank sensor. Then use a small spanner to loosen the 2 screws on either side of the sensor.
It is bolted to the block beside the crankshaft pulley,it reads the crank pulley.
LS does not have a knock sensor. GSR does have a knock sensor
