The vehicle has 123,000 miles. The noise a sounds like something knocking... dont know if it is inside the engine or not. Not a ping. It has been making the noise for 1 1/2 -2 years. The noise is at it's worst when we crank it up and it is idling in park and when you put it into Drive and first accelerate. The timing belt was replaced a couple of years ago. It is an automatic transmission. We have been the only owner of the vehicle. We need to sell it, but I need to know what this knocking noise is and how to fix it!!
Check your flywheel bolt, it could be loose.
Maybe its low on oil

Yes. After it cranks and has sat for a bit, the knocking fades a little.... in neutral, you can barely hear the noise at all and after you get above appx 30mph or so, the knocking becomes pretty faint.
not low on oil. this is louder than the knocking noise you hear from being low on oil.
does the noise ever go away?
