Knock sensor failure?

[Phil Payne]

> I'm sure that knock sensors have failed from time to time but I would 
expect that the normal failure mode would be that it simply stop putting 
out a signal.  However, has anyone experienced a knock sensor failure in 
which the knock sensor becomes overly sensitive and reports knocking to the 
ECU when none is actually happening?

Yes, if it's overtorqued.
