Pre-ignition and detonation (knock) are different phenomena
[edit]The article incorrectly states that low speed pre-ignition is also known as "detonation or knock", this is simply not the case. Pre-ignition is a combustion event starting before the spark, detonation is the rapid, uncontrolled burning of the fuel/air mixture caused by excessive cylinder pressure and temperature. Detonation can be caused by pre-ignition, but it can also occur after the spark event. 2.122.219.173 (talk) 10:11, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
