Can You Still Drive with Engine Knocking?

[CaydenAnn]

For the safety of passengers and to prevent secondary damage to the engine, if the engine is knocking, you should not continue driving. Causes of engine knocking: 1. Carbon deposits: If the fuel in the engine does not burn completely, it can lead to carbon deposit issues. If carbon deposits are not cleaned in time, they can alter the compression ratio inside the engine cylinders, causing abnormal combustion of internal gases and resulting in engine knocking. 2. Overheating engine: After prolonged intense driving, the engine may overheat. If the temperature reaches its upper limit, it can also cause abnormal combustion of internal gases, leading to engine knocking. 3. Poor fuel quality: If the fuel used in the car is of low quality, its anti-knock properties will be significantly reduced, making the engine more prone to knocking. 4. Ignition disorder: If the car's ignition system malfunctions, causing ignition to occur before the piston reaches the correct position, it can result in abnormal engine vibrations and, in severe cases, engine knocking.
