Would a bad torque converter cause the motor to knock?
No, it will not cause the engine to knock.
Would a knock sensor cause the engine to run rich?
No it will not.
What problem could the knock sensor cause on your car?
If the knock sensor failed the CEL (Check Engine Light) would be illuminated and the engine may "ping" or "spark knock" under load. Serious "spark knock" can damage the engine if allowed to continue.

A bad knock sensor would illuminate the check engine light and allow the engine to ping (spark knock). The engine doesn't shift, the transmission shifts.
Can a ignition coill spark but but still not fire engine?
As you did not say which vehicle this can only be a general answer Unlikely that a faulty coil would cause an engine to knock. Very possible it would cause bucking, if the coil is failing there would be a lack of spark. This would cause bucking/missfire, which may cause the engine to shake on it's mountings possibly causing a knock from contact with the vehicle frame.
What would cause Ford Taurus engine to knock?
Same as any engine. If your gear shift is moving as well it will possibly be your engine mounts. If its been happening when cornering check your drive shafts.
Can worn spark plugs cause engine knock?
Worn spark plugs would cause mis-firing or non firing cylinders, both are no good for the engine, replacing the plugs may stop the knock (Could also be a different problem) But you should replace spark plugs as soon as possible.
What would cause engine to knock continuously after a new oil change?
check the oil level it may not have had enough oil put back in it.
