Knock control

Post by TJ4295 »

I’ve been trying to keep an eye on my knock control recently, as I’ve heard that it’s the “best” way to monitor ignition timing . So that being said. Is there some kind of rule of thumb to keep in mind here. Is there a knock control value that is considered “dangerous”? Should I be looking to keep it below a certain value? Casual driving on base tables learned down as low as .06 and maxed at about .21. Adding 2° of timing to those points, showed me values as high as .41, but would learn back down to about .27 or so. I know this value is always going to change as I drive, so I’m not stressing the fluctuations too much. And I know that if I start seeing values at .80+ I may want to look into fixing some things. But should I worry if I see the numbers climb into the .60/.70 area?

Knock control will move based on knock feedback and environmental factors. The higher it is the more timing it's pulling to compensate. High values could indicate an issue or poor fuel quality.
