When accelerating, a cluttering noise can be heard from the engine, especially if accelerating up a hill?

I have tried different types of gasoline, and nothing helps. Any suggestions as to what it could be and what I can do about it? Thanks in advance.

Your engine is equipped with a knock sensor, which adjusts the ignition timing to the computer. Yours may not be functioning properly.
