I have heard this too about knock sensors on tbi not being too important. I think once i helped a friend remove knock sensor and solder in a diode or resistor to make it run good. I remember doing that but not sure what it was for exactly because we added a turbo on it.
Aside from that above, does the knock sensor also sense a ping from timing too advanced?
I think it's only purpose is to detect knocking (even inaudible pre detonation) and retard timing accordingly. This can be from too advanced timing or from any other reason. It isn't smart enough to know anything but the signal it detects.
