Knock sensors check for knock and ping.

If you are running lean, your cylinders overheat. This can cause the fuel to detonate prematurely. This detonation can definately be the cause of your knock.

When you torqued the knock sensors down it should have only been to 11 ft. lbs, many people over tighten these and it causes all kinds of problems....
