KNOCK SENSOR

KNOCK SENSOR

Product Description:

The Maserati part number 585089700 knock sensor is used in the Maserati 3200 GT and Assetto Corsa cars. It is a piezoelectric sensor that detects engine knocking, which is a condition that can damage the engine if it is not corrected. The knock sensor sends a signal to the engine control module (ECM), which then adjusts the ignition timing to prevent knocking.

The knock sensor is located on the engine block, near the top of the cylinders. It is a small, cylindrical sensor with a threaded end that screws into the engine block. The sensor has two wires that connect it to the ECM.

The knock sensor works by detecting vibrations caused by engine knocking. The vibrations cause the sensor to generate an electrical signal, which is sent to the ECM. The ECM then adjusts the ignition timing to prevent the knocking from happening.

If the knock sensor is faulty, the ECM will not be able to detect engine knocking and the engine may be damaged. The most common sign of a bad knock sensor is an illuminated check engine light. Other symptoms may include:

• Loss of power.
• Rough idle.
• Engine misfires.
• Engine knocking.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to have the knock sensor checked by a qualified mechanic

• Use the correct octane fuel.
• Avoid running the engine low on oil.
• Inspect the knock sensor regularly for signs of damage.

By following these tips, you can help keep your knock sensor working properly and prevent engine damage.
