G'day just wondering does anybody know if any other type of knock sensors can be used on a 4agze? can a 7mgte one be used instead, or maybe 3sgte ones? I don't really car about the plug fitting, I can always make that fit one way or another. but more the internals or signal it sends out? would prefer same hread size though as I have just drilled the block to fit this one?
Actually I should ask first is there any way to test if a knock sensor is stuffed? I get the error code on the ecu, and when installing I knocked it pretty hard by accident, so i am guessing I did some damage to it.
If anybodys knows please let me know, I have dones searches but came up with nothing on the particular question.

Well.. If ur knock sensor is stuffed. You'll lose power, especially over 5,500rpm (i lost 20kw). It will cause the car to run super rich, and it will shut the supercharger off after 5,500rpm.
