It does it Under Load or not.
No Check Engine lights. No codes ( which makes it stranger)
It first happened when my daughter was about 300 feet from teh driveway, she basically coasted it to teh Driveway. I went out and restarted the engine and it was Knocking bad and ran like crap(i drove it about 30 feet). After fighting with the passenger side Valve cover that I couldn't get past all the harnesses I ran my fingers under there and it seemed like the Rockers were all in place. At that point I refused to work on a car that I told her not to buy. That night After adding some Marvel Mystery oil down the Intake and letting it sit,It actually started up much quieter. So I'm leaning heavy on Valves or lifters hanging up OR carbon that shifted causing the Piston to hit the Valves. I let teh car run about an hour and out of nowhere it start hammering again, I ran to the car to shut it down but at the same time I was trying to get an ear where it was coming from...definitely the passenger side but not sure how deep. I absolutely dread pulling the Head on this thing. As you know on your van...no room to work. Yours is worse, the engine is sideways.
So now, It's quieter like a valve tap. I actually drove it about 6 miles and it feels good but something isn't as right as it was before this Knock started.
