Ok With No Knock Sensor?

[InfiniteGSX]

I have been told that a knock sensor that looks wet like its leaking is bad. Well all my spare knock sensors are the same way. I cannot afford one right now, is it bad to daily drive the car with no knock sensor? I've gotten into boost a little bit but not too heavy and it apparently is registering knock with no sensor even connected...

Not a good idea man. If you can even get it started, it will run like crap. It retards your timing and will cause bad things to happen if you boost.

Replace the sensor, it will pull timing when needed to hopefully save your engine.
With the sensor unpluged it should read like 14 counts of knock(I forgot to plug it back in once).
So in theory the car has already pulled your timing.

Car starts up and runs every time I crank it. But I haven't really boosted it. I haven't even tightened up my couplers yet. But I'm glad I got this info. I now have more time to get a new knock sensor. Damn transmission didn't seal Its always one problem after the next.
