I was just driving my car a minute ago and something very bad just happened. I had a concern about my revs earlier and how it wouldn't let me go over 4000 rpm. Well, I just replaced the coil and was trying it out to see if it helped my revs go past 4000. When I took it up there, something happened and a very loud knocking noise started happening. Another person on this thread had a post about a loud knocking noise that he heard when he started his car. Mine seems to be making the same kind of noise. I need help immediately! Any help as soon as possible would be helpful, please. Thank you very much.

Ok I'll try to answer all questions at once. As far as the knocking noise, it doesn't "speed up" or become any louder with an increase in the revs. It isn't LOUD, but it's loud enough to hear clearly in the interior of the car. When you say "check the coil", do you mean if it's just sitting loose or if the plug wire/and wires are loose? I will go out right away and look around the engine bay and see if anything has come loose at all that I can see. I will try bouncing the car a bit as well to see if I can hear anything either. I'll get back to you guys with any new findings I have. Thanks again for your help so far. I'm going to try and take the valve covers off in a bit too, but I'll get back to you when I do. Thanks
