If the situation is really bad it can even be caused by the rod itself contacting the crankshaft journal (where the bearing has become out of place). The most common cause of rod knock is due to a spun bearing (bearing itself actually spins in the end of the rod so it becomes out of position).
The knock sensor retards the engine timing when there is a knock or ping detected. This will make the car a little sluggish.
