I'll give a sizeable rep/casino cash donation to whoever correctly diagnoses my problem. I'm taking it to "the shop" tomorrow.

2005 Ford Escape V6
Turn key, takes a few seconds to start
Makes a "weird" noise when idling, a knocking noise
Drives normally, unless you are stopped, in which it makes previously mentioned noise, and sort of "shakes" a tad bit, like you are tapping on the brakes
ENGINE LIGHT JUST CAME ON. DANGER.

EXCELLENT, thanks for checking! Well, haven't turned it on in a spell, so who knows.

if it shows a miss on 1, 3, or 5 make SURE they replace that coil along with the plug. labor to pull the plenum costs more that a coil, at least when i do them

Agreed.

This one right here. This post right above me that I have quoted. This is probably your most likely cause.

Same problem, different vehicle. My car didn't run weird/make a weird noise when it happened, though.
