Hello,

When I accelerate from a stop it will make a knocking noise from the front (sometimes) and also at low speeds. I just got a tune up, new spark plugs, replaced oil pressure switch, new air filter, fresh oil change. What can be the cause? I need expert advice.

It sounds like you have a rod knock but to be sure can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so I can hear the noise? That way I can tell for sure what's going on. You can upload it here with your response.
