I've had various problems with my 16v. Usually the engine itself is not the problem. I second the motion for the AMM. Had a similar problem and could not figure it out. Took it to a Independent and he diagnosed it, I ordered the part overnight from FCPgroton.com.

On the knocking noise, I have something that sounds like piston slap, rod knock, and I've tried to pinpoint it. I sounds like it coming from my auto trans. From the little breather plate on the bottom! Anyway the car runs fine.

good luck with yours,

jc
