Slight engine knock normal ??
Hey guys....Is a slight engine knock acceptable with hard acceleration??? only happens after some stop & go driving (engine slightly warmer than "normal") when it happens it occurs at the lowest RPMs at the beginning of each gear range. Thanks

No, you should not have any knock at all. Are you sure it is engine knock??

Even with 87 octane you won't get knock for more than a few milleseconds... the Knock Sensor will pull back enough timing for that.
Sure you don't have a head gasket leak or something?

always use either Mobil 93 or Amaco93 but here in NYC Im always wondering if these dealers are messin' with the gas....sounds paranoid but....today I really got a chance to WOT and it actually isnt a "knock" in the '93 Ford Taurus sense....it actually might be the exhaust/engine growl. No flames this is my first real performance car !!!

I have the same "knocking" noise. When I take off slowly or the car comes to a complete stop. I asked the dealer and this was at the same time i got my tranny replaced and they told me it might be cause by the tranny problem. So I got the tranny replaced and have the same noise. Im going in for my 15000 soon and I'm going to ask them to check it again.
I will come back with a verdit..

Me neither. My car has a kind of "clicking" sound, but i dont know if that's normal or not. And i doubt it's a knock. I make sure to use at least 91 octane when i fill, usually it's 92 or 93.
