What is knock sensor on Honda s2000?
A knock sensor detects engine knock in the motor(aka pinging, detonation, or uncontrolled explosions. it basically means the motor is about to blow up or potentially could.) the second part to a knock sensor is that it keeps the ignition timing as advanced as possible to make the most power without making engine knock. So if you have a bad knock sensor or have a check engine light form a knock sensor your car will be slower. this is when your car goes into LIMP mode which is basically a preset running condition which is safe for the motor.

How do you replace a knock sensor on a 2003 Chevy silverado 4.8?
The Knock sensor is located on the lower side of the engine near the oil pan rail and goes into water. Make sure your engine is cool before you start the job. The best way is to drain all of the coolant out of the engine first, then disconnect the wire, then remove the knock sensor. WARNING--antifreeze will come pouring out when you take the knock sensor our so WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES to protect your eyes. Do not use any sealer other that the sealer that is on the new sensor.

Is the knock sensor really needed the car runs fine except for the service engine light stays on?
It really depends upon the car. But the basic function is this: What the knock sensor does is if there is a knock being created by the engine, the knock sensor picks it up, and sends a signal the the computer telling it that there is a knock. The computer then calculates what to do in means of how much fuel should go in or how much air should go in. The right amount of both will get rid of the knock, and the computer will then keep the settings made the same. Without a knock sensor, the check engine light will come on, and the computer won't be able to make the engine function properly. Therefore slowly ruining the engine. Yes, they are expensive, but they are worth it, in the long run.
