No it will not. The knock sensor is used to adjust the timing.

No it will not.
the motor could pre-detonate or "knock" that can cause damage
Yep.
No it will not.
You have another problem other then the knock sensor if the engine will not start and run. A knock sensor will not cause the engine not to run.
No it will not cause it not to run.
LS does not have a knock sensor. GSR does have a knock sensor
A knock sensor is a device that senses detonation. Detonation occurs in the engine when the fuel begins to burn prematurely; it can cause substantial damage to the engine.

Make SURE the engine is COLD. Then unscrew the old sensor and install the new one. Antifreeze will leak out of the engine so be quit when replacing it.
