    I have a 02 2.7 4x4 taco. When I am running down the road at say 60 mph the motor will start tapping/knocking. If I give gas or let go of the gas it will go away. One time when it did it. It blow smoke out of the back. Let off the gas and it stop. Most of the time it will only do it when I have beening the same speed for 20 mins or so, but when it starts to do it. It will not stop until the motor cools down. Any ideas?

    Could be a blown head gasket, bad valve seals, stretched chain (not very common), bad plugs.

    When was the last time you change the plugs?

    Has it over-heated lately?

    It has never overheated. I changed the plugs and pcv value this past Saturday.It only seems to do it when I have been running the same speed for awhile(above 2000 rpm). It has only blowen the smoke out the back one time.
