Tapping sound when revving engine ~2k rpm

Asked by crames May 21, 2020 at 09:23 PM about the 2016 Kia Sportage LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I'm dealing with a rattle that recently started and is noticeable when revving
the engine through 2k rpm. Thought it might have been an issue with old spark
plugs, so I put new ones in and have the same result. Don't think it's rod knock
or detonation since it happens when the engine load is low but not when it is
idle.
