Knocking

My car is knocking. When I get into the gas in 3rd gear on the freeway I hear valves clattering. I've changed the gas and run fuel cleaner through the system. I don't know where to go from here. The car only has 57K on it. If anyone has advice as to what is wrong, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, Karl.

Knocking? or Pinging (sounds like a bunch of coins in a coffee can almost)

Do you run 93 octane?

What plugs do you run? Have you checked them lately?

Does it have chip on it?

You might wanna swing by December 13th for Dyno day and get a air/fuel graph to see whats going on....
