So, I'm putting a PI 4.6 motor into my 98 GT. The new motor came out of an '01 Grand Marquis, which came with a single knock sensor. I've got 2 questions.
1. Would it be a feasible idea to hook the sensor up to an LED inside the car to let me know if it is pinging? How exactly would you wire it up? i.e. is the sensor powered somehow?
2. What kind of voltage does the sensor produce when experiencing knocking? Or is it just an on/off type of deal? I read somewhere that it only produces millivolts, in which case I do not know it could be used like I'm looking to do.
