Its not good to drive without a knock sensor installed. Are you sure you have it wired up right? A knock sensor does exactly what it says, it detect knocks within the block and adjusts the ignition timing if necessary.

knock sensor detects any knocks.. if your car has any pre detonations.. it could be harmful.. i doubt anything will happen on a mile and a half trip.. but you never know.. push it there.. heh .. or flat tow it if its that close..
