IS THAT THE SMALL TURBO
I ASKED GRAHAM GOODE'S BEFORE AND GOT THIS REPLY

Hello, and thanks for your question.

You can look and look all over for your knock sensor, but never find it!

For some reason (presumably due to the EECIV management system), the Small Turbo Escort Cosworth does not have a knock sensor!

I hope that this information has been of interest to you, and if I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me again.

Regards

No as I said thats on the LT (Large Turbo)

If GGR say that then they are probably right

GGR are correct, the ecu has the code to use a knock sensor but for some reason Ford didn't see fit to put one on (my guess would be that they have been very conservative with the spark timing and hence you don't need it).
