Check the egr facts thread in the FAQs section. There are some links to learn all about it.
Yes, the knock sensor will detect any pinging, and retard the timing to protect the engine. But it is a little slow, so there can be pinging for a moment or 2 before it retards. If you get pinging, you could run premium fuel, and perhaps octane booster. You could retard the timing to 5* (and 0* if needed). Removal is generally done for looks, and cleaning up the engine bay. EGR does not work at idle.
