Does the 1.9L waterboxer engine have a Knock Sensor in it? ie. a sensor that
detects whether a lifter is "knocking"

A knock sensor detects cylinder "detonation" (a condition of the spark
occurring to soon and thus the explosion pushes downward on an upward moving
piston) not lifter knocks.  Detonation is very bad for engine life.
And no, the 1.9L does  not have such a device.
If you have a lifter knocking there are several suggestions others can make
for remedies. You can also search the archives.
