When you press on the gas the engine rattles then stops more gas and it rattles?

The rattle you are talking about sounds like what we in the auto industry call "Pinging and Knocking" this can be caused by using low octane gas, engine timing is out of adjustment and or a few other engine tune up issues. If the rattle feels like it's only when giving it gas going up a hill where the engine is really working it could also be crack shaft bearings or connecting rod bearings that are about to give up the ghost. Big bucks.

What causes knocking sounds in a 2002 Mazda millenia?

what caused knocking sounds for me was a pully on the serpentine belt that was attached to the power steering pump. the pump gasket busted which in turned damaged the pully.
