Bad ground.

The battery is dead or disconnected.

is it a rythmic tapping ? could need the 'tappets' adjusting.if its intermitant that will be harder to locate so try to narrow down the area you think noise is coming from and at what speeds or just when stationary etc

sounds like your exhaust valves aren't opening up which means either your cam is out of round, push rods are bent/flatten rocker arms broken, broken valve stem/seat, hopefully just the valve got stuck closed due to carbon build up

2 things,radiator partially clogged,and/or bad heater core.Fan clutch could also be bad.

The only coolant hoses i know of that would be anywhere near there would be ran to your heater core. Try looking for a place to reconnect the hose to. The heater uses your coolant to heat your vehicle & it sounds like the hose came off.

the problem lie within the wiring harness. I suspect underneath the dash just behind the stereo.

Parts stores sell an inexpensive harmonic balancer puller. Simple to use and makes the job easy.

the water pump should be located front right of motor the only thing that may take some time is if the belt needs to be replaced some models require you remove part of the engine mount. Job should take a pump / belt if damaged / antifreeze.
