Hello, thank you for writing in. The knocking is going to sound worse at idle because the number of combustion cycles happening is less than when you are accelerating or maintaining a higher RPM. With that being said, engine knock is most commonly attributed to a poor explosion in the cylinder(s). This can be caused by a spark issues, a fuel issue (like the wrong type of fuel for the engine, or poor fuel quality), bad valve seals, or even a bad knock sensor. All of these components will need to be tested separately. Start with the spark system as it is typically easiest to repair, and it is a heavily uses system that needs constant maintenance.
