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.

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!
