There is a pinging tapping knocking sound coming from what sounds like under the motor area while it's just sitting and idling. Then as I drive it becomes extremely loud and has very little power as it's going up hills. With a knocking sound becoming extremely loud as I accelerate.

Hello,

Unfortunately this sounds like your connecting rod bearings and/or the main bearings are failing. If you want to replace the bearings we can provide directions on how to do this, or we can provide instructions on how to replace your engine as well, if you decide to keep your vehicle. Please let us know what you decide to do and we can help.

Thanks,
Alex
