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.

How do you determine the octane number of your engine?
If you listen to the engine under load conditions and it rattles or pings then you should use a higher octane fuel but you should research more on this through these pages to determine the need for a higher octane value before you tear something up.
Do you use more gas the faster you go?
Yes ! The further you press the accelerator, the faster the engine runs, and thus it uses more fuel.
What can you do if you press on the gas pedal and the car won't run as you expect but the engine is blowing more?

What does flooding engine mean?
Flooding an engine simply means that there is TOO much gas in your cylinders, and you have to wait until they drain before you press the gas, or start the vehicle. The more you try to turn the vehicle over, the more gas will be injected. So let the vehicle sit and wait or press the accelerator to the floor to increase the air in the mixture and leave it there until the engine starts.
Why does a car slow down when its engine is switched off?
Because the engine provides the power to operate the drivetrain, which is what makes the car move in the first place. Turn the engine off, and there is no more power going to the drivetrain - the remaining movement of the car until it stops is simply inertia.
BMW 318i when you start the car it starts shaking but when you press the accelerator it stops shaking but when you take the foot off the pedal it starts shaking again?
One or more cylinders on one side is/are not firing. Check by pulling a plug wire while the engine is running. If there is no change when you pull the plug wire than that cylinder is not doing anything. Replace the plug wire and pull another until you find the one that, when pulled does not affect the engine.

Why does a 2008 Chevy aveo RPM raise When you push on the brake and the car stop?
"Power brakes" uses engine vacuum to assist you as you press on the brake pedal. The diaphragm of the power brake module pulls the brake pedal harder as you press harder on the pedal. Since engine vacuum is being used, some atmospheric air is released into the intake of the engine as you press the pedal. That's all the throttle on your vehicle does to make it go faster. When more air is released into the intake of the engine (that's where the vacuum line is connected for the brakes) the engine will go faster, so when you press on the brake, it's doing the same thing. Usually people don't notice the slight RPM difference. If the change in engine RPM is extreme you MIGHT want to have the power brake module tested.
