How come my 94 ford mustang has a knocking tapping sound coming from the intake manifold what in the heck could it be?

generally it isn't really coming from the intake rather it is echoing from the engine through components into the intake.
the intake is hollow so it echoes most sounds making it seem noises come from the intake when most of the time it's not the part making noise.
check your oil level.
if you have OHC's that could be a next place to check

Is loud knocking coming from top of engine a lifter problem or head gasket problem?
If its a legitimate knocking then you would want to go with head gasket if its a tapping you would be looking at a valve
What is the cause of a knocking from the front end of a 2000 Pontiac grand prix when driving at low speeds?
My 2000 Grand Prix would have a low-speed knocking noise coming from the drivers side as the CV axle was failing. The loss of lubrication in the CV Boots allows the joint to make a knocking/tapping sound at a low speed. If the knocking is coming from the engine compartment, then it could be an entirely different problem.

Clicking tapping noise coming from driver side cylinder head increases during acceleration but decrease during idle or at stoplight?
I'd check the exhaust manifold first. A cracked manifold or leaking gasket can cause a sound that's a lot like what you describe.

if it sounds like the knocking is coming from the bottom of the engine i would bet it was the rods or rod bearings may be worn. if the knocking is on the top ,then i would have the lifters and or the rocker arms checked.
