Rattling Noise When Accelarating Maxima

[dcmaxima24]

Hello,

I have a 2003 Nissan Maxima with 95,000 miles. Recently, the vehicle started to make a rattling noice that comes from the engine when accelarating between 35-40 miles per hour. Also does it occasionally between 10-15 mph. When in neutral the engine revs great without a problem, but when put into Drive and accelarting it will make the rattling noise. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

...all depends on the noise: engine moves when revved, movement/engine angle differs how its loaded e.g. accel, decel, stationary---

Check exhaust piping, shields and attachments.

I had same problems. I use to get the rattling noise on hills. Eventually I got error codes which suggested MAF sensor.
Since then the rattling noise has almost gone.
