2000 Ford Contour rattling noise

hey i'm hearing a rattling sound coming from the front of my car, also it just started bucking and attempting to stall out but catches itself, it only does it when i come to a stop and sometimes when turning. Any ideas what it might be??

the rattling hasn't become consistent however, it comes and goes, the longer i drive but slower in speed you can hear it, the faster i drive it dies but starts again as i begin accelerating again.

Re: 2000 Ford Contour rattling noise

from the sound in the middle around the engine..it has been steadingly getting louder and the car attempts to turn off when i make a turn uphill or while slowing down, i think there may be multiple issues here, I'm going to drop it off at the dealership, my warranty cover engine and transmission problems.

i have a 97 ford contour v6, makes a rattling noise but only when i start to have to change gears, but as soon as i change the gear the sound goes away, also when i first start my car and take off and make a stop it seems to want to stall out but then goes right back to idealing to where it was suppose to. I have a stick shift
