Advancing the valve timing of the engine is going to improve the combustion stroke and therefore, its generated power. Your current Mini Cooper knock sensor will make sure you do not exceed the limitation that the engine allows. This part is an electronic control unit that takes action on your fuel-air pre-detonation by generating voltage the moment it actually is impacted. The sensor utilizes this current to alert your engine computer. Right at the initial indication of damage, this computer sets off a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) or perhaps quickly retards the pre-set Variable Valve Timing (VVT) of the vehicle.

Your Mini Cooper knock sensor senses pinging or knocking, which means that you have reached the boundary in advancing the valves. It's going to sense pinging inside the engine at the first sign, which means that pressure waves are already leaving its specific ignition point too soon that it crashes to your cylinder walls or on the piston. This typically develops when the actual valve timing is advanced beyond the limit. Your sensor easily picks up the occurrence of pinging because it's created from Piezoelectric materials or crystals which acts to impacts by simply producing electrical current.

When your current Mini Cooper knock sensor is bad, your engine computer is supplied with erroneous information. Look for Beck Arnley, Replacement, and Delphi replacement products in place of your sensor here at Parts Train!
