An engine knock at startup can be caused by insufficient oil pressure, which may result from low oil levels or a failing oil pump, leading to inadequate lubrication of engine components. It could also be due to worn or damaged engine parts, such as piston rings or bearings, which may allow for excessive clearance. Additionally, using the wrong fuel or a fuel with a low octane rating can lead to pre-ignition or knocking during startup. Lastly, a cold engine may experience knocking until it reaches optimal operating temperature.

Can a ignition coill spark but but still not fire engine?
As you did not say which vehicle this can only be a general answer Unlikely that a faulty coil would cause an engine to knock. Very possible it would cause bucking, if the coil is failing there would be a lack of spark. This would cause bucking/missfire, which may cause the engine to shake on it's mountings possibly causing a knock from contact with the vehicle frame.
