Why are you looking for the knock sensor does it not when you put a load on it it might not be the sensor it might be the gas I have a 97 Dodge Dakota with a 5.2 l if I run anything but premium gas in it it knocks really bad try switching fuel
If you are going to fix it yourself, I would go ahead and buy a book. It sounds like worn bearings or oil pump. Depending on the mileage and the condition you may be better off with a rebuilt replacement.
When you are low on oil you should hear an engine "ticking" noise at the top of the motor. If you hear an engine "knock" or repeated thud with a metallic sound, your engine will very likely require a significant repair or replacement. There is another possibility that you could have a broken timing chain but normally the engine would not stay running if that is the case. I would suggest you have an engine shop mechanic (not dealership) diagnose the knock and estimate a repair.
First no matter what check the oil level and then if it's a high rev tapping you need to allow the oil to flow through the engine block to try to coat and settle your valves.
But if it's really " knocking " sounds like your lifters and rocker arms are allowing your piston rods to clatter and that needs to be looked into fast.
u must have knocked the vacuum hose off when u changed the motor, that (vacuum) is what moves the air to the different outlets, the vacuum comes from the engine and enters the cab on the passenger side..
If it's cold you could have what they call pistion slap and most of the time the noise goes away when things are at there opperating temprature. If your only get it when your accelerating and the motor is hot, it's eather your timing chain is stretch and time for a new one and worst it could be your rod pin's are worn. Try adding some lucas oil and see if that help's. If it does then it's just a worn engine and just need not to push it too hard. good luck
