There are a lot of knock sensors, and another one tailored for a different frequency might work better. For example, an original-equipment sensor selected specifically for your engine—or, if your engine has been modified and you are getting false positives, a non- OEM sensor. Normally, a small four-cylinder engine should have a knock sensor designed for a small four-banger and so on. A possible alternative to changing sensors would be to experiment with changing the location of the sensor in the block or head(s) or even mounting it with Teflon tape or other insulating material around the threads to decrease sensitivity. Some aftermarket knock-sensor control systems have the ability to tune or condition the EMS or knock-controller response to various types of knock-sensor signals to narrow the response to what is actually detonation as opposed to engine noise.
