Yes, a faulty knock sensor can contribute to engine misfires. The knock sensor monitors engine vibrations to detect knocking or pinging, allowing the engine control unit (ECU) to adjust ignition timing. If the sensor malfunctions, it may send incorrect signals to the ECU, leading to improper timing adjustments and potentially causing misfires. However, misfires can also stem from various other issues, so it's essential to perform a thorough diagnostic.
