When put into drive, it's sputtered and shook a bit, for about a block and then was ok. There is also a rattling sound that comes from underneath my car from time to time. Does anyone know what might be wrong? I appreciate any info, thanks on advance.

Possible that it could be several things. I would check timing and also the fuel psi regulators leak causing difficult starting.
We have had a quite a few Sportages come to us with the timing off at low mileage. Seems the belt stretches and jumps time.
