    Default Is it common for a knock sensor to go bad? read too sensitive?

    I'm just curious how many people on here have actually had a bad knock sensor?
    And how did you know it was bad?

    Never had one fail on an lt1. I know on the ls motors they have a tendency to go bad if the cavitys get filled with water and on nissans they go bad. You could always check the resistance on the.

    You should get a trouble code and timing advance will be restricted. Less performance.

    i know my car pulls mad timing from my data logs so i think something is up and my gas milage is really bad too. should i be able to rev it and watch my knock count go up? i dont have headers so i dunno why it would be super sensitive but its robbing me of power for sure, my car isnt knocking but it thinks it is. wtf

    so no one else has a issue with false knock being reported? or do you know? unless you datalog you wouldnt know. but if you have false knock it pulls timing and you lose power big time. I swear im about to hack up my car so i can run a regular dizzy and toss the pcm and run somethin better.i dont care for how gm did these cars at all. they didnt give two shits about cost to the consumer for maintenance or reliability. i like fuel injection, but this crap is a joke. i want to run like a 93 5.0 mustang runs not this junk. opti shit
