Does the car making any unusual sounds? Does it start idling badly and stuff meaning that the knock sensor is retarding the timing?



If no, then yes, but be very cautious and be careful to watch for any signs of knocking.

Also make sure to check your oil dipstick every day or two before you get that sending unit.
