Default rattle

I heard a rattling sound coming from my engine when I accelerate, the harder
the accelarate, the heavier the rattle. Just wondering if I should call the
mechanics. 2000 SC2 manual

Peace,

Jerry

It could be a number of things including a bad bearing or simply a bad
load of gas causing ignition knock. It would be prudent to have your
mechanic look at it, but you might try filling it up with some premium
gas (91/93 octane) and see if that makes it better. If it does, then
you've still got a bad knock sensor or your ignition timing is a bit too
far advanced.

Good luck.

Cheers,
