Why Knock Sensors from Walker Products?

Knock Sensors Features and Benefits

Effective Engine Protection with Walker Products Knock Sensors

Ignition Knock (Detonation) Sensors detect engine block vibrations caused from engine knock and send signals to the computer to delay ignition timing. Engineered with high-quality materials, they offer a durable build capable of withstanding harsh conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Their design ensures effortless installation, minimizing vehicle downtime and keeping your vehicle on the road. These sensors are meticulously engineered and rigorously tested to meet and exceed OE performance and durability standards, delivering reliable detection and response to knocking events. By precisely monitoring engine activity, they help optimize timing and combustion, enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing the risk of costly repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Engine Knock? The Knock is a sound created by a second (or unplanned) explosion within a cylinder. This separate ignition is caused by increased pressure from the first ignition having leftover heat causing a second ignition from the heat.
What does the Knock Sensor do? The Knock Sensor is a small listening device that detects irregular vibrations and sounds from the engine block. The sensor sends an electrical signal to the ECU for the ECU to make ignition timing alterations.
Why do Knock Sensors fail? Continuous engine vibrations, mishandling during installation, faulty connectors, and environmental factors such as extreme temperatures, moisture, and contaminants can all contribute to knock sensor failure.
Faulty Knock Sensor symptoms? The vehicle will have diminished power, poor fuel mileage, poor performance under a load, and lastly the check engine light will be illuminated.
Why Walker Products Sensors? Every Knock Sensor is tested before being shipped out for the best quality, plus we cover a broad range of engines and vehicle models.
