knocking at idle
That's way louder than a timing chain tensioner usually is.
Start unplugging coil packs 1 at a time. If the noise is reduced, you've gout either a damaged rod bearing, or a scuffed bore on whatever cylinder the noise changes on.
Sounds like a scuffed bore to me.
Have you checked the oil level?

does not sound good. FI and running lean and highway pulls do not mix well. Im guessing its in the block , any un usual smoking maybe cracked piston. maybe rod bearing . hope im wrong . good luck deff get a scope on that block to listen, a long handel screwdriver will work put the head on the spot you want to hear and the handel on your ear it works great

nope, the noise didnt go away when i took out individual plugs... it only gave me a check engine light... how do i reset the ecu without having to undo the battery or disconnect the wiring harness?
the engine oil is in the middle between H and L...
When i took the plugs out the engine started to run bad and the noise got a bit slower... but never went away...
When i put a wrench to my ear i heard it most prominently on the intake manifold...

Got a stethascope? They have them at sears for about 20 bucks.. or you can use a looong screw driver and put your ear to the handle while touching various parts of the engine with the tip. Its a good way to locate noises etc.
