    its probably knock...sounds like your gonna need a new engine...seriously i have no clue...it runs horrible and may or may not be knock...could be alot of things...start with the plugs/wires and go from there.

      tonight start the engine, open the hood & check for open sparks. If so, there's you're problem: crappy wires. If not, pull some code(s)

      we go from there.
