Many years ago I had trouble with the knock sensor, replaced with a cheapo one and had to replace 9 months later. It was not anywhere near in spec, but looked fine from the outside (not cracked etc). Luckily it was under guarantee, and I paid the extra then to get a genuine one.

Not sure what car you have but classics are supposed to be something like 550k Ohms impedance +-5%, if you have a multimeter you can check it, but likely it just wasn't very good to start with.
