    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,
