There are a number of reasons why an engine would knock when you idle the vehicle. It could be your motor mounts. You may also need oil.

What is the solution for a knocking noise in the engine?

Usually, a knocking engine is very bad, and requires replacement or rebuild of the engine. If the engine is going "clank-clank-clank" at idle, and the sound gets louder when you get on the gas and disappears for a sec or two when you let off, that means you gotta replace the engine. You ain't gonna go for but a couple more miles before you throw a rod....

Installed a k n air filter and now as light knocking noise at idle 2005 exterra 4.0 v6 oil is good need help?

I had the same problem when I cleaned and replaced my KN filter after 3 months of use. It was caused by too much oil on the filter element. It fowls the knocking sensor on the engine and causes the knocking noise at idle. I removed the filter and cleaned it. Then I very lightly oiled it and replaced it. The knocking went away in about a week. If it doesn't, you might have to replace the sensor. I'm not a mechanic... this is all the help I can give you. Good luck!
