Sensor is used on Calif. V8 engines only and is located on intake manifold. Sensor detects engine knock sounds and transmits a signal to the computer. The computer will then retard spark timing up to a maximum of 11 °. Amount of retard is directly proportional to the strength and frequency of detonation condition.
