Cam position sensor and Knock sensor

Does the 7 MGTE engine adjust its own timing? Does it have a knock sensor? How do you adjust the timing if you can? I don't see it in the repair manual? Thanks all!

yes the ecu will always search for the best timing , it does have a knock sensor. it still needs to be set correctly, jumper with a piece of wire t & e1 in diag box in the engine bay, hook up light and see if its at 10 degrees or whatever is stated under the hood on the sticker.. if its off, loosen cam sensor, it looks like a distributor with out the wires..set it and tighted back up and unhook..
