What are the possible causes for a tapping noise on the 2001 Dodge Intrepid Sometimes quiet sometimes loud and sometimes goes away?

Is this coming from the engine? If it is it sounds like you might have some lifter problems. Or the worse part is if you have a rod knocking. Intrepids did have some egine problems.


What causes a knocking sound when accelerating and idle?

That depends if it is a load tapping sound if so, it might be your valves tapping, and you might just be about ready for a rebuild. If it sounds a lot louder and more metallic like a banging sound, your engine may have thrown a rod, and for sure needs to be rebuilt or replaced. You also might consider trying a higher grade of octane that you are using in your gas tank to see if the noise doesn't clear up on its own. sometimes engines will need a higher octane for a tank or two to clean out the gunk build up in the engine. Best of luck to you!
