03 accord type s knocking sound

[ky1981]

Hi,

I have a 03 type s 2.4 and since last week it has started knocking between 2 and 3000 rpm. It happens in all gears including neutral and i tried unplugging spark plugs 1 by 1 and found that the noise disappears when the 3rd plug from the left is unplugged. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi and thanks

Not sure about plugs Im only a novice at this so just unplugged the electrics from each plug. I reckon the oil has been low as it took a good 2 litres of oil when I topped it up with higher grade to see if this helped. Just worried that the engine is shot.

remove the plugs and check each one. just to check.

2 ltrs ? shourly that should have set off the low oil warning

well thats what I would have thought too but maybe thats faulty too. I will maybe take a loot at the plugs before I leave it in to mechanics on monday just dont want to be stung for a fortune by mechanic if I have fair idea of what it might be.
