It retards / slows the timing up and makes the transmission shift hard. The engine has to be running right for the transmission to work right. It would really help to know the year. There could be other problems depending on the year.

No, the knock sensor only retards the timing when it detects the engine pinging.

Sometimes car will run rough od light will come on car and it won't switch from off to on could it be od switch not working trans will go to lower gear took it to dealer they have no clue how to fix?

You don't mention what make or model your vehicle is, but some have a Transmission Range Sensor (TRS or DTRS) that will affect the overdrive and downshifting of the transmission. It is located on the side of the transmission and any misalignment of the sensor will cause those symptoms. However, I don't think that same sensor will make the engine run rough - but it certainly affects as mentioned above. If the SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT is ON, or has come ON lately, have it diagnozed, I am sure you will find the problem.


Will bad oxygen sensor cause rough idle?

Not likely but possible. I would suspect a leaking vacuum hose.


Does the map sensor cause idle rough on 96 Monte 3.1?

Yes, a faulty map sensor can cause rough idling on a 1996 Monte Carlo with a 3.1L engine. The map sensor measures the intake manifold pressure, which is crucial for the engine control unit to adjust air-fuel mixture and ignition timing. If it provides incorrect readings, it can lead to poor engine performance, including rough idling. It's advisable to check the sensor and related components if you're experiencing these symptoms.


Does a malfunctioning ambient sensor affect the transmission when it shifts?

Yes, a malfunctioning ambient sensor can affect the transmission during shifts. The ambient sensor provides crucial information about environmental conditions, which can influence engine performance and transmission behavior. If the sensor fails, it may lead to incorrect data being sent to the engine control unit (ECU), potentially causing rough shifting or delays in transmission response. This can ultimately result in degraded vehicle performance and drivability issues.
