A failing knock sensor in the Toyota Camry can significantly affect engine performance. The knock sensor is responsible for detecting engine knocking pre-detonation and adjusting ignition timing to prevent engine damage. When the sensor fails, the engine may experience decreased power, increased fuel consumption, o r knocking sounds. In Pakistani conditions, the use of lower-quality fuel can exacerbate this issue. Replacing the faulty knock sensor and using higher-quality fuel can resolve this problem.
