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.
