I think you'll want to get a better idea of where the 'knocking' sound comes from. You can pop the hood, start the car, have someone put the e-brake on and hold the brake pedal down hard, throw it in gear (forward or reverse) and let it idle or maybe give it a tiny bit of gas. While they do that, you're ear is under the hood, listening to the front, back, sides, transmission area, etc. See if you can't locate that sound a bit better. Rods knock, CV joints knock, Engines knock (ie Ping) um, I'm not sure what else knocks, banana? Now, if you had a ping sound type of knock, your knock sensor should be lighting up the CEL. Even if not lit, maybe check your cars computer for codes with an OBD-II scanner tool. Please let us know how it goes.
