I was wondering if anyone knows why my engine is making a knocking/clicking noise when try to drive my vehicle three minutes after I start it? After warming/idling my engine for about three minutes and putting my vehicle on drive, my vehicle moves quietly.

When the last time you had an oil/filter change?

Check the oil pressure if its within specs -oil pressure relief valve could be sticking or lifter/s leakdown problem
