The knock sensor sends a signal to the computer (PCM) to retard the ignition timing if it hears a spark/knock in the engine. Sounds like the shop damaged the wiring harness and they can fix it for you for free! Also, the check engine light will be on and the vehicle won't pass emissions inspection with the light on. Hope that helps! Jim
