If you have a bad cam sensor there will be no input sent to the computer signaling the position of the cam/crank...etc, and there will be no signal sent to the coils telling them to fire. So yes, a bad cam sensor will in part cause no spark. Try a new sensor, or pick one up for cheap from a junkyard.

Can bad spark plugs cause a knock sensor code?

Yes, bad spark plugs can potentially cause a knock sensor code. Faulty spark plugs may lead to misfiring or incomplete combustion, which can create abnormal engine vibrations and noise. These conditions might trigger the knock sensor to detect false signals of engine knocking, resulting in a stored code. Thus, while bad spark plugs are not the direct cause of a knock sensor code, they can contribute to conditions that lead to its activation.


What would cause a knocking noise while engine is running?

Typically not enough oil. Bad spark plugs or the wrong grade of gasoline or a bad O2 sensor can also contribute.
