if its not knocking then chances are its the heatshield on the catalytic converter but i would have a shop check it because these cars are known for blowing motors

How many miles does this vehicle have? It could be that your timing belt is about to give up the ghost, and you are about to lose your engine.
There is also a Techincal service bulletin for your vehicle having spark knock problems, here it is.
TITLE:
Engine Pinging
APPLIES TO:
All Models
SERVICE TIP:
When diagnosing an engine pinging condition, always check for carbon deposits, which may have occurred due to fuel grade or quality and/or the customer's driving style. If necessary, clean combustion deposits from the pistons and combustion chamber. Recommend to customers to always use the correct grade of fuel for their model vehicle.
Other than that, you may just have to chase it down with an automotive stethoscope. You could even have a bad drive belt pulley or something.

Take a closer look at your exhaust. Older cars lose their catalytic converter to wear and tear, it loosens up inside the fixture and rattles itself into oblivion eventually. Have a mechanic tell you for sure.

what style of noise? additionally, what do you mean via is it good? They amazing finding automobiles IMO and that they may be good if dealt with. do no longer assume to make fairly some potential from the 420A engine nonetheless.
