Chevrolet Monte Carlo Knock Sensor

The Knock Sensor in Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a part of the engine which determines the occurrences of the knock and transmits it to the PCM for the required timings. More often piezoelectric, the sensor transforms the mechanical energy from vibrations to electrical signals to detect the pressure spikes that may denote knock. This means that with the help of Close Coupled Exhaust System, the right adjustments of the driving time can be made to achieve high results for the motor with the proper avoidance of damaging the motor even when using low octane gasoline. Sophisticated ones can change the engine's timings for each cylinder and manage boost pressure for the ultimate power, durability in diverse operating modes. Knock Sensor has an important function of helping to achieve high efficiency with the engine and prevent detonation in the process of ignition.

Each OEM Chevrolet Monte Carlo Knock Sensor we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
