Standard Ignition KS107T Knock Sensor
This engine tool detects abnormal combustion vibrations in the cylinder block. It sends a signal to the ECU so ignition timing can be retarded before damage occurs. Mechanics and DIY technicians fitting a replacement sensor on compatible vehicles will use this part.
Continuous vibration monitoring under load
During sustained high-load operation the sensor maintains its output signal as cylinder pressure rises. It does not rely on a short burst test; the piezoelectric element responds cycle after cycle across the engine speed range. The transparent housing shows the internal element without affecting the sensing function.
Practical limits of the knock detection interface
The sensor connects to the factory knock-sensor circuit, which expects a specific voltage range and frequency response. If the ECU calibration or wiring harness does not match those parameters the sensor cannot communicate knock events correctly. Orders of 75 or more ship free from the manufacturer.

Questions about this item
Does the Standard Ignition KS107T knock sensor generate heat or noise during continuous engine operation?
The KS107T is a passive piezoelectric sensor that produces no heat or audible noise while the engine runs.
What existing engine management components are required for the KS107T to function correctly?
The sensor requires a compatible ECU knock-input circuit and an intact wiring harness to transmit its voltage signal.
Will the KS107T work with an older distributor-based ignition system that lacks a dedicated knock module?
No, the KS107T outputs a signal intended for ECU processing; older systems without a knock-control module cannot use it.
