I really don't know much about cars, but prehaps what RPM WS6 said makes sense. The CPS as a culprit. I saw this thread as well:

https://ls1tech.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...;f=23;t=001884

I also saw this tidbit of info on http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t476.html
Specifically:
"Also new on the 2001 models is the reluctor wheel which is attached to the crank to trigger the crankshaft position
sensor which is now redesigned to enhance signal output."
Is it possible a 98 PCM Flash is not compatable with a 2001 with respect to a CPS signal? I guess this would have been identified with others if it was an issue, but like I said I don't know much about cars and just thought I would throw that out there.
Regards,

You sure the tapping isn't an exhaust leak? Does it tap all the time?

I'm off wed. so call me and I might be able to check it out.

I'd have to hear it.

Could be an exhaust leak, broken rocker, etc.

has anyone checked the springs yet on this car? or the pushrods?

just cause it doesnt have misfires doesnt mean anything. the misfire codes could have been taken off to make the programming look better for the $
