Engine knocking sound
 
The problem with my car never stops. I got my car to start however, it has developed this knocking sound as soon as i start it everytime and continues to stay.. when i accelerate the engine on idle the sound seems to go away but on low rpm the aound is continuously there. What am i looking into now? Or where ahould i begin?

Porsche?
Reset the timing.
If okay, run some SeaFoam through the combustion chambers/intake system.

chain tensioner has collapsed.

not a fan of putting a liquid into a running engine, liquids do not compress. too much and you risk pulling a head stud or worse.

Can I change my answer?
I agree with chain tensioners.
Timing and dieseling would make it hard to start.
Also, the noise is probably hidden by the exhaust note at speed, but still present.

OP, post a video, it will help us determine a bit better our answers, hopefully that is :D

I will try to post a video on saturday. The sound does feel like it is coming from the left side of the engine when standing and looking into the engine. And feel heavy vibration on the chain housing case when i touch the pretruding bolts on the exterior of the housing. Also oddly the cylinder 1 and 5 dont seem to work just did a simple test by pulling each wire out of the spark plug socket and the engine shows change in idle speed. However 1 and 5 bring no changes. I changed the spark plugs and no change.

Hmmm.

Can you verify spark is coming out of those wires?

Get a 2 foot long wire and wrap a spare spark plug at the thread, plug into the wire and the other end of wire to a ground. Have a helper start it and observe for spark. DO not hold the wire, place it safely where you can see the spark to confirm spark then move to the next suspect.

If you can, disconnect fuel pump via fuse.

If no spark, verify OHMs of the wires.
