My car began to make a "rattling" noise about a week ago and i was wondering if this has happen to anyone else and how to fix it..... If im not mistaking its comming frm the engine and it kcik up when i accelerate and im starting to kreep out ... please help with ne info you guys /gals might have..

oh yeah i have a 1988 camaro rs 2.8L 5 speed thanks a bunch

 

worst case u have a spun bearing... not so bad u have a collasped lifter.. easy case your vavles studs backed off a lil n they are rattling.. does it happen all the time or just when u start it up cold, just when u rev it up?

 

Not nearly enough information for us to help at this point.

Rattling = Not to many internal components. Knocks and Taps do.

Does it do in in neutral and increase with RPM or just when car is moving?

Use a screwdriver or something like it and place it to different engine components and put your ear to the plastic side and listen to hear if the sound is internal, move do different locations on non moving engine parts to determine the closest point to the noise.

If you hear tapping or knocking from inside, ground your plug wires using a grounded probe and again listen for the noise to go away.

There are some things to start with. Gather a little more information and post back with results for further assistance.
