Knocking coming from the engine...

So much talk. IMO you deffinately need to check the codes first, that could save you a lot of time and money. Just checked out the oil pan on my 3.0L, which is a 99', but there is no way you are pulling it out unless you raise the engine like mentioned above.
But check those codes first, its a lot easier to fix something when you know what to fix.........

Well I talked to a mechanic today, hes going to bring over his computer, but in the meantime he said that it might be a spark plug issue. He told me to pull spark plug number 3 and see what it looks like....so thats going to be my job until I get his computer over here. Since dropping the pan is so much work, I am definitely NOT going to do that.
I agree. No reason to do all that work for nothing when it could be something so small.
Now can anyone direct me to spark plug 3? I know 3 are on top and 3 are on the bottom but Im not sure exactly where to look....
