Engine Noise
Hi folks,
My SE 2002 4 cyl has 80 KMiles on it and has been running well so far. I bought it 7 months ago with 74 KMiles. The other day I opened the hood and when I revd the engine by pushing the accelerator cable I noticed a kind of a rattling in the engine when revs dropped. I took the car to several mechanics and ask for advice. Three of them said it was the water pump, tensioner, etc. One said the noise was nornal. Finally, another one said the lower part of theengine was shot... There is neither blue smoke nor abnormal oil consumption, Well, any ideas? Thanks in advance.

mine kinda has a rattle sound also, was told water pump, was told needed new engine but the car seems to run just fine without doing anything to it. i personally think it sounds like something is loose but that is one of the things i had checked along with the idle spurts on mine.
