Knocking when you step on the gas can be caused by several factors, including engine knocking (pinging) due to improper fuel octane, which leads to premature combustion. It may also result from worn or damaged engine components, such as bearings or pistons, that create excessive clearances. Additionally, issues with the fuel system, such as clogged injectors or a failing fuel pump, can lead to inconsistent fuel delivery, causing knocking sounds. Regular maintenance and using the correct fuel type can help mitigate these issues.

What would cause a knocking sound when not stepping on the gas?
can you elaborate? engine noise? stationary/moving? ticking, tapping or a definite knocking?
What would cause a knocking sound when you let off the gas?
change fuel pump
Earthquakes cause fires?
Yes they can but rupturing gas piplines, and knocking over power lines.
What would cause a knocking noise on a 1999 Saturn even when it is warm?
Knocking is caused by preignition, where the heat in the cylinder causes the gas to ignite before the spark plug does. Try using a higher octane/grade gas and see if the noise goes away.

What kind of gas is best for Volkswagens?
Newer VW's (last 20 years), it doesn't really matter. Cheaper, low octane gas can cause knocking (early detonation), but the knock sensor will retard the car's ignition timing preventing knocking, but this will cause slightly poorer gas mileage. Thing is, the extra cost of the poor gas mileage isn't more expensive than the cost of higher octane gas, so it's pretty much a wash. Older VW's without knock sensors can have poorer gas mileage with cheap gasoline. This knocking will happen under hard acceleration. The knocking will be worse with higher compression (over 1: 8.5) engines like in the GTi, Cabriolet and Scirocco.
What would be causing a knocking sound in your muffler?
A hole in the muffler would cause a knocking sound in your muffler. A loose exhaust pipe can also cause a knocking noise.
What would cause a noise when the car is stopped but goes away when you step on?
Squeaky brakes, sticky lifters engine knocking . Please be a little more specific.
What would cause a car to idle but die when you step on the gas?
It could be need of a tune up or a gas filter.
What would cause an engine to make a loud knocking sound once every 3 seconds while in park or neutral?
The failure to step on the brake pedal or if manual the failure to step on the clutch The transmission or gearbox is not working properly
What could cause knocking on the passenger rear side of a rear wheel drive car?
u knocking on it
When you step on the gas you hear a knocking sound in the engine what could it be?
It's probably ignition timing or low octane fuel. It COULD be something far more serious though, such as rod bearings.
