If it is doing it every once in awhile, then you might have the same problem I did. Ford has a very big problem with the Cam sensor, and the Synchronizer. With mine, the synchronizer did something, and broke the Camshaft positioning sensor. How it ran I have no clue, but it would start knocking and studdering. It would come and go, but never lasted long. Do not go to Ford for the part. It is over $200.00, and they want $200.00 for the tool you have to have to time it. I went to a National Auto Parts A. store, and got everything for $47.00, and it came with the Cam positioning sensor, the Synchronizer, and the tool needed to set the timing of it. I hope this helps, good luck.

Why does your engine make a knocking sound when you accelerate?

When you accelerate. you are putting presure on the main engine barrens. if they are going bad. You will hear this knocking sound. I don't know how many miles you have on this engine. But that's what it sounds like. But that's not all that can make this sound. You will have to tell more about it and when it started. Did it just start all at once? or did it start and then get louder?
