Whatever it is, it can't be good. Although, it doesnt sound like a noise the injectors would make...

Did you check for moisture in the dist cap???? It sounds like it is missing on several cylinders and not a knock "to me".

I was JUST about to say that. My car had a wicked valve tick that I could not figure out, I took the valve cover off, and snugged the rocker, put it back together, and no fire. I replaced the timing chain, and still no fire. Replaced the cap/rotor, fired right up.

Be sure to check that.

Check the plugs and wires.... sounds like what my car was doing. One of the plugs was completely fouled and the wires were arcing. MSD is crap imo.
