2.4 rough idle, stalling and knocking noise

My honda has had a jumpy idle for awhile now but today it was dropping down lower than normal and then stalled.. No when i start it there is a knocking noise coming from the motor when i start it.. Could the timing be off now and what would cause the noise?

I have 133k miles

I doubt it's a timing issue

Plugs up to date?

Any stored codes or recent work done to the car?

Plugs were changed about 10k miles ago.. I did a oil change on it the day before it started doing that.. I did switch from conventional oil to motorcraft 5w20.. I changed the oil and filter thinking it was maybe a bad oil filter but its still doing it.. Except now its smoking after i let it run for more than a min
