Does the knocking begin immediately on startup, or only with the opening of the throttle?

mine taps like the way your saying but mainly when its at least 40 degrees. does yours matter on the temp? i didnt know that dis. and stuff could make your car tap..i'll have to look into that...but...since its been a little warmer i also put in some mystery oil and so far its been alright..even on cold mornings...maybe your lifters were dirty like mine (or still are? i dunno..my car is iffy)

What car do you have? A Z28 with a 2.8? What year is this car? Turbo 500?
