Valve rattle?

I have an automatic Ford Escort ZX2 '98, 91.000 miles. I am having this rattle-like noise as I drive, usually it occurs on acceleration or when driving uphill. What can cause this noise/rat-a-tat-tat-rattle/pinging? How much is it to fix at the car repair? Thanks!

Re: Valve rattle?

When was your last tune-up? What kind of gas are you using? Regular? Super?

Re: Valve rattle?

I have a 2000 zx2 with 80k on it and it does the same thing. I had a tune up not long ago also. It sounds more like something loose and it sounds like it comes from under the engine on the side where the belts are. I took the black cover off on that side and it sounded like I was close to it, but I couldnt find anything? any ideas?
