Yes, a faulty knock sensor can indirectly contribute to a vehicle overheating. The knock sensor detects engine knock or pinging and helps the engine control module adjust the ignition timing for optimal performance. If the sensor fails, the engine may experience incorrect timing adjustments, leading to inefficient combustion, increased heat generation, and ultimately overheating. However, overheating can also result from other issues, so it's essential to diagnose the problem thoroughly.
Overheating, yes. Loss of antifreeze, no.

A faulty knock sensor is unlikely to directly cause your cooling fans to stay on. The knock sensor primarily detects engine knock or pinging to adjust ignition timing, while cooling fan operation is typically controlled by the engine's temperature sensors and the engine control unit (ECU). However, if the knock sensor is causing the engine to run inefficiently or overheating, it could indirectly lead to the cooling fans running more frequently. It's best to diagnose the cooling system separately to identify the actual cause.
No it will not. The knock sensor is used to adjust the timing.
yes it can. also check knock sensor and the wire going to it
Yes, a faulty knock sensor can lead to engine misfires and vacuum problems. The knock sensor monitors engine vibrations and helps the engine control module adjust the ignition timing to prevent knocking. If the sensor malfunctions, it may cause incorrect timing adjustments, leading to misfires, poor engine performance, and potentially affecting the vacuum system due to improper combustion. Addressing a bad knock sensor can help restore optimal engine function.
No, a faulty knock sensor will cause a code 43 normally. check for spark, diconnect a wire from a plug, install a plug in the wire, lay it on something metal, have an assistant crank the motor and watch for spark...
Nope prob leaking freeze plug
remove the sensor, backprobe the plug with a multimeter set on voltage, tap the knock sensor lightly with a spanner, you should see voltage respond by increasing whenever you tap it, this means your knock sensor is working correctly. if it does not move however it means that the sensor is faulty.
yes when it is not working properly
Could be a bad knock sensor. The ECM may be retarding the timing based on bad input from a faulty knock sensor.
