What is SAE net on a TBI engine?

Sae net is power at flywheel with all those components on engine as it would be in vehicle. This typically yields a number about 20-25% lower than those gross numbers.

What does it mean when someone is knocking on your engine?

Can a bad knock sensor cause an engine to knock?

There’s even a knock sensor that’s designed to detect engine knock and tell the Engine Control Unit, so it can correct the problem automatically. This naturally means that a bad knock sensor can allow the engine to knock.

Where does the knocking come from in an engine?

Another possible source of engine knocking isn’t actually coming from the engine itself at all. It could be coming from the accessory belt. As the engine runs, it turns a belt that’s connected to various pulleys throughout the engine bay. This belt must be under the exact right amount of tension so that it turns smoothly and quietly.

Can you use MSD on a TBI engine?

PLEASE PLEASE don’t complicate TBI with MSD or any other ignition boxes. They do not work well with TBI and can possibly cause a LOT of issues. Best just to avoid that type upgrade altogether. I don’t like working on my stuff more than once for the same thing and doubt you do either so do it right the first time.
