Ford Ranger Knock Sensor

The Knock Sensor is an important feature in Ford Ranger, It is also responsible for detecting the knock in a car's engine and transmitting this information to the PCM for timing correction. Usually piezoelectric, this Knock Sensor translates vibrations into electrical signals to measure pressure spikes that may be defined as knock. It then enables adjustment of the firing time to coincide with the optimal efficiency and to avoid the likelihood of damaging the engine even with low octane ratings. More complicated management can change the timings of some cylinders and control boost pressure to achieve maximum output and durability in various environments.

We provide a wide range of Ford Ranger Knock Sensor at the best prices possible. If you need Ford Ranger Knock Sensor, you can shop with confidence on our website. All our OEM parts come with a manufacturer's warranty and are delivered to your door step with a fast delivery service.
