PROBLEM IN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Engine knock; Pinging; Spark knock; Detonation internal combustion engine; Preignition; Combustion knock; Engine detonation; Premature ignition; Knock sensor
In spark ignition internal combustion engines, knocking (also knock, detonation, spark knock, pinging or pinking) occurs when combustion of some of the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder does not result from propagation of the flame front ignited by the spark plug, but one or more pockets of air/fuel mixture explode outside the envelope of the normal combustion front. The fuel-air charge is meant to be ignited by the spark plug only, and at a precise point in the piston's stroke.
