wasnt sure where to post this so i posted in both the civic and this forum

i havent been driving my hatch for a while but i need to get the car running this week. its a stock d16y7 and the motor is making a knocking sound. the knocking gets louder as i rev and it redlines pretty low. i cant tell where the knocking is coming from but the sound is low when im idling. and back when the problem came up the motor used to shutoff after coming to a complete stop after accelerating. is this problem gonna take a lot of work to fix? should i just swap it?
