Probably not:
Knoking is the combustion of the fuel mixture before the actual ignition took place. This self-combustion is most commonly caused by high revving of the engine: the mixture becomes so hot due to rapid compression it ignites without a spark.
Diesel engines don't compress a air-fuel mixture, but only compress air. The fuel is injected when the piston is at top position (approximately), and ignites at that very moment; the compressed air is hot enough to cause ignition.
The timing of ignition in a diesel engine is therefore correct, also if you compress the air much more than with a petrol engine. This is in fact what is done, (compression ratio diesel is much higher than petrol, this fact makes this possible). This higher compression ratio gives a higher efficiency; as you'll probably know diesels are more fuel efficient.

How many o2 sensors on a 2005 dodge ram?
The gasoline engines have four.The diesel does not have any.The gasoline engines have four.The diesel does not have any.
Why are diesel engines loud?
Diesel engines detonate. Diesel has more potential energy than gasoline, instead of burning evenly, diesel explodes creating a knock or rattle noise.
Where is knock sensor explorer 2002?
The knock sensor are located in the valley between the cylinder heads on V6 and V8 engines V8s have two knock sensors
Do diesel engines have oxygen sensors?
Well, friend, diesel engines do not have oxygen sensors like gasoline engines do. Instead, they use a different system to monitor and adjust their air-to-fuel ratio for optimal performance. It's all part of the beautiful dance that engines do to make sure they're running smoothly and efficiently. Just remember, every engine is unique and special in its own way.
Are Oxygen sensors and knock sensors different?
Yes. The oxygen sensor measure oxygen level in the exhaust. A knock sensor measure vibration in the engine to detect spark knock. However, modern engines use sensors dedicated to sensing oxides of nitrogen in the exhaust gas. These are often referred to as "Nox sensors". This is probably where the confusion arises.
Where is the knock sensor located on a 1994 Explorer sport 4.0?
Ford did not start using knock sensors on the Ford Explorer engines until 1996, when they switched to the EEC-V system.
Where is the knock sensor located in a 2000 Pontiac grand prix 3.8?
If the 3.8 is like all other newer "V" model GM engines, the knock sensors are most likely under the intake.
Does diesel engines run on diesel fuel or gasoline fuel?
Diesel engines run on diesel fuel. Gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
Where is a knock sensor on a gmc sierra 1500?
the knock sensors are located in the top of the engine block. The intake has to be removed to get to the sensors.
Does a 2002 silverado truck have a knock out senor?
Yes it does and it is called a knock sensor.The V8 engines have 2 knock sensors and thay are under the intake manifold. You will have to remove the intake to get to them.The V6 engines have only 1 sensor and it is screewed into the top rear passenger side of the engine were the transmission bolts to the block. It is just under the oil sending unit.
When was Atlantis Diesel Engines created?
Atlantis Diesel Engines was created in 1979.
What is the knock sensors function?
Knock sensors detect abnormal vibrations in the engine. The system is designed to reduce spark knock during periods of heavy detonation. Knock sensors produce AC output voltage which increases with the severity of the knock. The signal is fed into the PCM and the timing is retarded to compensate for the severe detonation.
