sound like you cam followers (if overhead cam) or lifters are making noise. Could be low oil pressure to the head.
No , it is not an interference engine
Usually a problem in the emission control system - have vehicle scanned to determine the problem
If a wrench lights up on your dash it means there is a problem with the engine.
4 cylinder engine is an interference type.

I have a 1990 Honda accord ex and my check engine light the car goes form a high rev to a low rev when I first turn on the car. Is this a vacume line problem or a voltage problem?
The loud tapping sound can be caused by a complete heating of the engine. Worn tappets can also cause the tapping sound.
Computer has detected a problem with the emission's system.
Fix the problem then you can clear the code.
if it is the 4cylinder engine ,it is a big YES ! double overhead cams too.
The Check Engine Light comes on when the ECU detects a problem with the emissions system.
On the throttle body.
