Default Knocking/clanking noise whe idling in neutral

Took her for a ride today - 1st drive since taking her out of storage - noticed a fairly loud knock when I got home when in neutral. Noise seems to go away when you engage the clutch in gear - but not in neutral. 1st time I have heard this noise - wondering if it might be the fly wheel that is causing the racket? Suggestions would be appreciated.

1991 with 19,000 miles on the clock.

A miss at idle will cause a rattle/knock sound from the dual mass flywheel.
Pull the spark plug wires one by one and see if the sound of the engine idle does NOT change.
Stock fuel injectors?
