Have a rattling noise coming from engine and gets louder when I push accelerator to speed up. My mechanic isn't sure if it's timing chain or loose rods. Can you please help. What could it be.

There is little we can add since your mechanic has the advantage of having the vehicle present to listen to, sorry but got to give the mechanic a chance to make the call.

Your mechanic could be right on both accounts. Or it could just be something that has just come loose. We would need to see the car to take a look to be sure. You may call us at 615-384-1048 to make an appointment for our mechanic to take a look. It will cost you nothing for us to look as long as there is no long diagnostics. Please call today.

Have owned several Wind stars and could be as simple as the oil dip stick hitting the exhaust manifold and rattling I've had it happen before took me quite some time to figure out what it was. I thought it was something in the exhaust heat shield extra but the dipstick had just got bent and touched the manifold and rattled prettyb bad
