Product Details
Ignition Knock Detonation Sensor by Mpulse®. The Knock Sensor can detect mechanical stress and generates a voltage when the vehicle knocks or pings. Under heavy acceleration, it sends signals to the ECU and the ECU delays the ignition timing to compensate for the knocking, which in effect protects the pistons and rings from damage. Knocking can also occur when using low-grade fuel. The knock sensor allows the use of different grade fuels without causing engine damage.
Features
- Designed and fully tested to ensure voltage that meets OE specs for ideal performance
- Protect engine from damaging detonation and pinging in all types of driving conditions
- Ensure the necessary heat resistance to withstand high engine operating temperatures
