Some of the reasons that there could be a noise under the hood when pressing the gas follow:
- Clattering: This in most cases could be from the valves getting too hot. This could be any cause, from the car over heating to the catalytic converter being clogged. If you are hearing a clattering noise, you need to take it to your trusted shop or the dealer to be assessed and fixed.
- A ticking: This in most cases is the injectors getting old and wearing out. There isn't a lot you can do for this, but you can lower the volume of the noise and add a little more life too the injectors by adding some Lucas or sea-foam fuel treatment to your gas tank once a month or every third or forth tank.
- a knocking: This is a more serious sound. This can be anything from a broken rocker arm to a spun rod bearing. either way it is a serious thing. If you are hearing a knocking, you need to take it to your trusted shop or the dealer to be assessed and fixed.

If your 1997 Ford Taurus makes a loud noise when you let off the gas in Park could it be the timing chain?
Hello, my suggestion would be just opening the hood when the noise goes on. Try to locate where the noise comes from. I have similar problem with my Taurus 2000 SE. It occasionally makes the noise somewhere under the hood. I sent the car to pep boys today. they were not able to locate the noise because it was quiet . so i have to wait until the noise goes up again and open the hood and see.
What makes a rattle noise only when your driving and when you press the gas?
This be a wide range of things does it make the noise when the vehicle is in park and you rev up the engine ? It could be a heat shield on the exhaust system. it does not make the noise if it is just idling....but if you press the gas it makes a noise and when ur driving it makes noise. But I had to put a flang where the header conects to the exaust cuz it was leaking and i thought that was where the noise was comin from but its still makin the noise.

If the popping noise happens when you let off the gas, it is probably a backfire caused by unburnt fuel in the exhaust cycle. Advancing the timing can remove the noise, but possibly at a loss of power While you are under the hood of the engine check plug wires
